Exhibition blurs painting and sculpture

The title of Hang Chunhui's ongoing exhibition in Beijing, Ambiguity, is inspired by a verse from the 11th century Yuefu Shiji, or the poetry collection of the music bureau. The verse reads: "Lotus flowers disappear in mist and dew, only the leaves are ambiguously visible."

The 41-year-old artist says the line indicates a traditional Chinese way of art appreciation that mysticism is beauty.

He says it works with his recent exploration of creating works that blur the boundary between painting and sculpture.
