Atmospheric ink
Li Geng's father, Li Keran, was a prominent artist in the 20th century, and his mother, Zou Peizhu, was a well-established sculptor. Li Geng's younger brother, Li Xiaoke, was an ink painter. Li Geng showed a talent for art since childhood and later evolved into an ink painter himself. The Rhyme of Ink, an ongoing exhibition, at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing, navigates Li Geng's decades of experimentation with Chinese painting by pushing the boundary of ink, the medium of Chinese art throughout centuries. His monochromatic works, done in an abstract manner, present a rhythmic and philosophical touch. The exhibition runs through June 29.
9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 1 Wusi Dajie, Dongcheng district, Beijing. 010-6400-1476.
