Watercolor artist
In its transformation from a border town to a commercial hub, Shenzhen, Guangdong province, has been attracting talented people from different walks of life, including artists. Chen Xidan, a watercolor artist and native of Shanghai, was among early artists from other parts of the country to settle in Shenzhen and contribute to the development of art. To mark Chen's accomplishments, Shenzhen Art Museum is showing dozens of his works through June 26. Since his relocation to Shenzhen in 1984, Chen has played a vital role in the city's watercolor scene. Besides his paintings, he has established a society for watercolor enthusiasts and organized exhibitions in and outside China to show works by Shenzhen's artists.
