Going global

An ongoing exhibition in Beijing brings together artists from China and Europe. Lin Qi reports.

Three artists featured at the Bridging Asia-Europe exhibition series - Wang Luyan from China, Gianni Dessi from Italy and Alois Mosbacher from Austria - show how some artists who grew up in a less-globalized world still managed to develop individual styles and reshape the landscape of contemporary art.

Bridging Asia-Europe, launched by The Parkview Museum in Beijing, is a series of exhibitions to encourage communication between Asian and European artists. The first show, now underway through Sept 17, teams up Wang, Dessi and Mosbacher, whose artworks are part of collections of George Wong, the museum's founder and an entrepreneur from Hong Kong.
