In the fall of 1995, the China Oil Painting Society was formally established, marking the history in which the oil painting have passed from the West to China for nearly 100 years setting off a new page, and interpreting the development of Chinese oil painting in a unique semi-official and semi- private way, showing their unique value in the intermediate zone between the system and outside-system. In 1996, nearly a year after the Society was born, it held the first China Oil Painting Society Exhibition, which is the fruit on the new cultural trees since China’s opening up, and is also a first major exhibition organized in the name of the society since the establishment of China Oil Painting Society. It is a combination of Chinese oil painting artist’s mind in several generations, and their sweat from tireless quest to create and hard work .
