The organizers were the Union of Artists and the Union of Chinese Calligraphers. It is the first country’s such a grand exhibition on its fight against COVID-19. The exposition consists of three sections. It includes 177 works created by both professionals and amateur artists.
The exhibition is dominated by works depicting scenes in hospitals in the city of Wuhan, which began the spread of the coronavirus, forcing the authorities to impose a nationwide quarantine. Propaganda posters sit alongside heroic paintings and socialist-realist statues of health workers dressed in protective gear and draped with Chinese flags. Several works depict the pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan. He rose to fame during the SARS outbreak in 2003 and played a key role in the fight against COVID-19.
