Art fete showcases close bonds with Mongolia

In his lithography works of the late 1980s, Su Xinping, 55, focused on the life of the Mongolian ethnic group, particularly on the mentality of people living in the grasslands.

He took a realistic approach at the time, skipping a common, superficial tendency to just portray beautiful scenery.

The established Beijing-based artist, who grew up in the Inner Mongolian autonomous region, injected a strong sense of loneliness and calmness into the sky, horses and herdsmen in his works.
