Art show brings color back to cold Beijing

With winter, the reds and yellows of fall fade away. But a group of artists have brought back the hues with Vivid Colors, a show in a hutong (alley) in Shichahai, an area that has lots of traditional courtyards.

The exhibition by the TRU-M art space consists of installations, sculptures, multimedia works, paintings and fabric works.

It has two sections, one in a courtyard that used to be a royal family's garden in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and the other in a complex near the Houhai lake.
