Intriguing mix of Zen and revolution

Wang Shuibo has a solo exhibition at Beijing's 798 art zone, called Zen & Revolution.

The exhibition combines two sections - paintings and films - and starts a three-week run next Saturday.

When he was young Wang went to learn from a neighbor, an experienced ink painter who was fond of drinking. Apart from learning the art of patience and how to paint with ink, he would also sneak a look at the old man's collection of ancient calligraphy and paintings. At that time he was fascinated with Fan Kuan, Ma Yuan and Ni Yunlin.
