Figures in ink
lnk artist Lu Zhiqiang says that as he gets older, he feels more of the difficulties of painting. He has been exploring ways to capture the spirituality of his subjects. Lu’s ongoing solo exhibition at the China National Academy of Painting, through to Friday, explorers the artist’s long-term experimentation with figure painting.

Vibrant Han art
The brick and stone from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) are known for their highly illustrative style, and provide an overview of history, geography, astronomy and other aspects of life that reveals the extent of the knowledge people at the time had about themselves and the world. The wealth of information the images contain still inspires artists today. The show marks the inauguration (落成典礼) of Inxx Gallery, and runs until Sept 26.9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 1 Wusi Dajie, Dongcheng district, Beijing.010-6400-1476.
Underneath surface
Wu Wei’s current exhibition, titled Fur and Golden, reminds people in a clever way that their eyes can betray them. A first look at his color pieces leads viewers to believe that the artist is working with fur. In fact, the pieces are actually made of paper, intricately (复杂地) cut to copy the look and texture of fur. The exhibition is running at Tang Contemporary Art until Saturday.
11 am-6:30 pm, closed on Mondays. D06, 798 art zone, Chaoyang district, Beijing.010-5978-9610.
