Exhibition explores women's perspectives

A group exhibition featuring Chinese and Canadian female artists held in Vancouver this month offers a glimpse into the interests of women artists from different cultural backgrounds, living environments and generational perceptions.

Entitled In the Mood for Love, the ongoing show at Poly Culture Art Center in Vancouver features works by 28 female artists from China and Canada, covering Chinese traditional ink paintings, oil paintings, sculptures, video works, photographs, prints and fashion designs.

Unlike male artists' interests in grand themes, female artists often dedicate themselves to a more self-focused emotion to explore their inner selves, academic director Fu Yijing says in her preface of the show.
