Zhou Sicong (1939-96) is known for her realistic paintings, such as People and Premier Zhou and Mineworkers. An exhibition at Beijing Fine Art Academy's gallery, however, offers viewers a rare chance to appreciate her incredible lotus paintings. Zhou suffered from arthritis in the 1980s, which caused deformity in her hands and feet. Unable to concentrate on meticulous brushwork, she had to shift to a more abstract style, which led to many lotus-themed creations. She departed from the traditional approach and imported into the paintings an easy-going attitude toward life she embraced after being tortured by illness.
9 am-5 pm, until July 16. Art museum of Beijing Fine Art Academy, Courtyard 12, Chaoyang Gongyuan Nan Lu (Road), Beijing.
010-6502-5171.
