Contemporary Chinese artworks on show in Cuba

HAVANA - A contemporary Chinese art exhibition was inaugurated recently in Cuba's capital, Havana, offering local people an opportunity to learn about the Chinese view of life and see artworks up close.

Themed "Faces around us in silence", the exhibition of more than 50 works by three contemporary Chinese artists - Yue Minjun, Lou Min and Wu Yuan - opened at the Palacio de Lombillo Museum in a historical district in Havana and will run through June 28.

Yue says: "My paintings feature rich colors and a strong contrast between light and shadow, just like the visual impression this country brings me, which is intense sunlight."
