Beijing Contemporary a boost to capital's art scene

Gallery booths feature works of artists who have garnered wide acclaim both of buyers and critics. A special section is dedicated to Chinese artists who were born in 1985 and later.

For centuries paper has been an essential material in the creation of Chinese artists to reflect cultural traditions and local experiences. A part of this year's expo works made of paper explore the possibilities of paper in artistic creation.

Public works by 17 artists adorn the outdoor space of the exhibition center, hoping to raise the profile of art and the expo among more people.
