Beijing-based artist Ru Yi is an avid collector of naturally eroded antique stones. These decorative sculptures inspire his Chinese-ink paintings which are at once traditional and modern, mysterious and convincing, and unique and universal.

Closing out the fall semester shows in Dahlonega will be "Ru Yi: Landscape of Stone." The exhibition will run from Nov. 8 to Dec. 4, with the artist talk and reception from 5-6:30 p.m. Nov. 8. Beijing-based artist Ru Yi is an avid collector of naturally eroded antique stones. These decorative sculptures inspire his Chinese ink paintings, which are traditional and modern, mysterious and convincing, and unique and universal.

"Chinese ink painting is different from a European style oil painting," Cooke said. "For students, seeing it on a slide is not the same as seeing it in person. And it is better for students to be exposed directly to art than through the internet."
