Artistic renaissance draws a global audience

People across the world are paying greater attention to Chinese art forms. Wang Yuke reports from Hong Kong.

"Chinese artists of my generation are the beneficiaries of the reform and opening-up policy," said Ye Yongqing, referring to the flood of ideas and fresh perspectives that resulted in a new school of Chinese art.

Ye was exposed to Western influences at art school, an opportunity considered a great privilege at the time. "We started from nothing 40 years ago and established ourselves as professional artists," he said.
