The worldfamous Chinese artist Yang Yongchun shows his biggest work of art.Named Rhythms of Youth, the 3D street painting that received two Guinness World Record titles for the largest and longest street painting in the world measures 365 meters long and covers 2,737.5 square meters of a path on the campus of Nanjing's Communication University of China.Its creators led by Yang Yongchun were awarded the certificate by the Guinness World Records at a ceremony held in the university.
The painting took the team of artists more than 20 days to complete.The painters worked continuously from early morning to late evening, stopping only when it was too dark to tell the colours apart.Created as a gift for the 2nd Summer Youth Olympics scheduled to take place in Nanjing, the painting describes the games as well as the impressive architectural landscape of Nanjing and the Yangtz River which runs through it.
While the size is certainly impressive, what is even more so is that Rhythms of Youth appears threedimensional.Before this, the record for the longest and largest 3D street painting belonged to British artist Joe Hill who created a 200.092 meters long masterpiece that covered 2,293.79 square meters of London's Canary Wharf on November 17th, 2011, to celebrate Guinness World Records Day.
Not surprisingly, the longest street painting is a big hit among the university students, who think that it is so much better to look at than boring gray asphalt(沥青)!
闻名于世界的中国美术家杨永春,带领他的团队在南京的中国传媒大学校园里创作了长365米占地面积2 737.5平方米的巨幅立体地画《青春律动》,为在南京举办的第二届青奥会送上了一份珍贵的礼物,同时刷新了世界最长和世界最大3D立体地画两项吉尼斯纪录。
