Chinese artist Chen Xiao adds color to Beijing's spring by launching his solo exhibition, Colorful World in the Eyes of Sean Chen.
Chen's paintings combine colors and images inspired by New Zealand, where he has been living for nearly 30 years, and his home country. Chen moved to New Zealand in 1988 and graduated from the visual arts department at Elam School of Fine Arts, Auckland University. Chen paints buildings and landscapes with colorful brush strokes.
An exhibition of his paintings will tour China for four years and will end with an auction. All money will be donated to China's environmental protection organizations.
9 am-5 pm, April 9-22. National Museum of China, East of Tian'anmen Square, Beijing.
