Ink art

Ink painter Yu Qiping has created a unique world for himself by mixing emotions of daily life with his ink paintings. Titled As Real As Illusion, Yu's latest show in Beijing exhibits ink paintings he created in the past few years. Temples, luohan (Chinese term for senior disciples of Buddha), horses, furniture and accessories displayed in studies are favorite subjects of the artist. Yu likes to depict some enjoyable and relaxed moments of daily life, such as bathing, reading, sleeping and chatting with friends. Yu, who graduated from Nanjing University of the Arts, has dedicated himself to ink painting for decades. He went to Japan in 1991 and held many solo shows in galleries and museums there. The exhibition ends on Oct 30.
