Painting master Qiu Hanqiao is holding an exhibition to review his 40-year career. About 100 representative pieces tell of his values and the relationship between nature and man through landscape, river and mountain paintings. On display are nine of Qiu's large scale works. Qiu's works are known for their quietness and big backgrounds, for which he became famous in the 1980s. Besides art, Qiu never stops exploring traditional culture and philosophy, the traces of which can be found in his works.
