Painting after painting

What is an image in a painting? A show at the Guangdong Museum of Art in Guangzhou featuring four accomplished mid-career German painters tries to offer an answer. Just like the show's name, Painting After Painting After Painting After: Imagemaking in Contemporary Germany, it introduces state-of-the-art developments in German post-painting scene to Chinese audiences, discussing the relationship between color and space. Franz Ackermann, Benjamin Appel, Thomas Scheibitz and Katja Strunz demonstrate how painting can survive in a world dominated by new media.

The show runs through Aug 14 as part of a series featuring art from overseas.
