East-West fusion

As a representative of Chinese new ink, Wang Hao's show Effusive Colors and Floating Fragrance at Today Art Museum tries to break the boundary between the East and West. The artist combines abstract paintings from the West and yixiang (philosophy) from the East to create a new kind of painting. Wang, 46, learned oil panting from his father and turned to colored ink paintings several years ago.

10 am-6 pm, through April 18. Today Art Museum, 32 Baiziwan Road, Chaoyang district. 010-5876-0600.
