The exhibition "The Question of Painting: A Worldwide Topic (Questionings of Painting: A Worldwide Task)” will be held at the Central Academy of Fine Arts Museum (CAFAM) from March 20th to April 20th, 2024.

The works of the five artists each have their distinctive features, with painting qualities that are open to discussion and topics that can be extended. Those insights are the essence of the research of contemporary Chinese painting.
