Phoenix Art Materials——Canvas Art Supplies Shine at China Xinjiang Ili Sketching Launch Ceremony

On the morning of August 20, 2025, Ili Normal University bore witness to a momentous occasion with the official commencement of the “Great Path, Splendid Xinjiang” Chinese Contemporary Oil Painting Masters’ Ili Sketching Event and Phoenix Art Materials’ 30th Anniversary Ili Journey. This prestigious gathering, jointly organized by the Xinjiang Artists Association, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Artists Association, the Ili Prefecture Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Ili Prefecture Culture and Tourism Bureau, the Urumqi City Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

Event Highlights the Art Cultural Resonance

The ceremony convened an esteemed assembly of prominent oil painting masters, representatives from leading art education institutions, and key B-end partners of Phoenix Art Materials, underscoring a collective dedication to advancing artistic excellence. The theme “Great Path, Splendid Xinjiang” is rooted in the Han Dynasty’s Li Ji (“Book of Rites”), symbolizing an aspirational vision of a harmonious and prosperous society—a principle reaffirmed by President Xi Jinping’s declaration in the 19th National Congress Report: “a great path where the world is for the public.” Standing upon China’s expansive 9.6 million square kilometers, enriched by over 5,000 years of cultural heritage and the collective strength of more than 1.3 billion people, this event embodies the nation’s cultural confidence. It leverages canvas art supplies, oil painting supplies, and watercolor painting supplies as vital tools to narrate the rich tapestry of China’s story on an international stage.

The “Great Path” theme resonates deeply with Xinjiang’s strategic position as a core hub of the Silk Road Economic Belt, serving as China’s western gateway and a historic conduit for cultural exchange among diverse ethnic groups. “Splendid Xinjiang” seeks to encapsulate the region’s multifaceted natural landscapes and distinctive cultural heritage through the medium of oil painting, seamlessly integrating patriotic fervor with regional identity and the pulse of the modern era. The 2024 “Great Path, Splendid Xinjiang – Xinjiang Contemporary Oil Painting Exhibition” at the Phoenix Art Museum in Wuxi laid a solid foundation, and the 2025 Ili sketching event perpetuates this noble tradition. Phoenix Art Materials Chairman Chen Weihong extended profound gratitude to all participants, emphasizing the event’s critical role in elevating the application of oil painting supplies and watercolor painting supplies within the art community.

Artist Creation Supported by Phoenix Art Materials

Immediately following the ceremonial proceedings, the attending masters embarked on sketching the breathtaking landscapes of Ili, employing Phoenix canvas art supplies as their creative foundation. These canvases, meticulously crafted from 100% cotton duck fabric with pre-stretched frames and expertly applied coatings, provide a refined texture and exceptional absorbency, perfectly suited for the robust brushstrokes and layered techniques inherent to oil painting supplies. Qin Jianxin, Honorary Chairman of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps Artists Association and Vice Chairman of the Xinjiang Artists Association, delivered an address underscoring the event’s profound significance. Conducted under the guidance of Xi Jinping’s cultural philosophy and the Party’s strategic framework for Xinjiang, this initiative coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and Phoenix’s 30th anniversary, uniting a distinguished cohort of national oil painting talents.
