Painters display works awash in ink traditions

Shitao, a famous landscape painter during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), had said: "Ink and brushwork should keep pace with the times."

His words are relevant even today as generations of practitioners are seen pushing the boundaries of Chinese art to take it to a wider audience.

Where to Go, an ongoing exhibition at the Equivalence Fine Arts gallery in Beijing, has gathered 15 ink painters who communicate their thoughts on Shitao's ideas against the backdrop of a rapidly changing China.
