The exhibition Return to Purity reflects upon the six-decade-long artistic and educational practices of Wu Shanming by displaying his dozens of ink-figure paintings. Wu began studying Chinese painting at the affiliated high school of the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. He has witnessed the transformation of Chinese ink art and been a forerunner in reviving the traditions of figure paintings. The retrospective features the 16-meter-long painting Shangri-la that he created for the exhibition.
