World of pure imagination

Fan Zhou's solo exhibition at the National Art Museum of China displays his playful experimentation with ink lines. With his distinctive brush strokes, Fan creates a world of illusions in which mountains, springs, smoke and rocks look unreal. His mountain-and-water paintings depart from conventional scenes of detached tranquility. Rather, he has used intricate lines to indicate anxiety and depression in modern people. Most works on show were created during his time spent in the Zhongnan Mountains in Shaanxi province.

9 am-5 pm, until April 22. National Art Museum of China, 1 Wusi Dajie (Street), Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-6400-1476.
