Thai artist's show

Art beat in April

An artist from Thailand, Paramat Leung-On, is featured at LWH Gallery in April. Paramat chose to be trained in classical Thai painting techniques as he wishes to preserve the country's cultural heritage. He spent his earlier years painting murals for many temples around Thailand, when he developed an interest in Buddhism. The meditative environment spurred him to reflect and think about the many stories and teachings of Buddha, laying the spiritual foundation for his artworks.

10 am-06 pm, until April 30. LWH Gallery, 102, Building 14, 50 Moganshan Lu (Road), Shanghai. 01870-171-7975.

Abstract artist

Pearl Lam Gallery is hosting a solo exhibition of Sun Junjun. The 20 oil paintings were all created in 2013, and feature contrasting colors and complicated layers of imagery. Sun used to study under visual illusionist Larry Poons in New York, and since 1988, she has been dedicated to abstract art. Her art is characterized by sharp intuition and a sensibility for colors, enhanced by disciplined technical training. The contradiction, complexity and tension in her paintings have made her stand out from traditional abstract art, according to curator Gao Minglu.

10 am-6 pm, Tue-Sun, until May 3. Pearl Lam Gallery Shanghai, 181 Jiangxi Lu (Road) M, Shanghai. 021-6323-1989.
