Between Brush, Ink, and Rice Paper
Chi Shaoting works in the tradition of Chinese painting and calligraphy. Her artistic practice is described on the official website as a connection of ink painting, calligraphy, and teaching; she was trained at the Pedagogical University of Kiev, participated in numerous exhibitions in Europe, Asia, and the USA, and has been teaching traditional Chinese painting techniques for many years. Especially the Xie-Yi style and her work with clear lines, inner movement, and reduced form shape her profile. ([chi-art.de](https://chi-art.de/?utm_source=openai))
An Art Form Full of Calm and Symbolism
Chinese ink painting unfolds its effect not through abundance, but through condensation. Water, mountains, flowers, birds, animals, and figures appear as carriers of cultural meanings, while brushstroke, rhythm, and emptiness become as important as color. In Chi Shaoting's work and teaching practice, this tradition manifests as a living cultural education: precise, meditative, and open to personal experiences. The Gong-Bi style, which the artist explains on her website, also refers to fine control, elegance, and careful, multi-layered elaboration.

The Place: Garden of Remembrance as an Art and Urban Space
The Garden of Remembrance is more than just a backdrop. The Duisburg urban and cultural environment describes it as a park that mediates between industrial past and culturally shaped present. The site is freely accessible and located in the inner harbor; the location is described as largely wheelchair accessible. This creates an atmospheric framework in which artistic concentration and urban experience touch in a special way.

Why This Workshop Resonates
For children, families, and art-interested adults, the event offers immediate access to the imagery of East Asia. Those who participate not only experience an introduction to technique and material but also an art experience that sharpens perception: on the relationship between movement and stillness, line and surface, expression and concentration. It is precisely in this reduction that the power of Chinese ink painting lies. ([chi-art.de](https://chi-art.de/?utm_source=openai))
In the end, there is an open, sensory, and educational offering that connects art history, cultural education, and personal creation. Those seeking something special should not miss this date in the Garden of Remembrance and experience the workshop's exhibition situation live.
