    Exhibition Infinite Entities: Life and Nature is a dialogue between Irish artist Niamh Cunningham and Chinese oil painter Geng Xin, exploring the beauty of life and nature.

    Through a variety of brushworks created using techniques in both Eastern and Western paintings, the artists have shown their delicate perception of different forms of life and the natural world.

    The exhibition opened at the Dongyue Art Museum, in downtown Beijing, on Friday, and will run until April 9.

    Shandong-born artist Geng Xin used Western painting techniques to create oil paintings on canvases, which have brought to life the sceneries he viewed on his travels to Russia.

    From buildings in Moscow and St Petersburg to autumn and winter foliage dotting streets in the cities, Geng truly captured each scenario through his exquisite skills in creating art.

    At the exhibition, Geng also showcases works of old sceneries of rural places in East China's Zhejiang, striking a nostalgic chord with the Chinese visitors familiar with those areas.

    In Cunningham's works, the Irish artist applied Chinese watercolor traditions to create vivid artworks on traditional Chinese xuanzhi – otherwise known as rice paper. The bold and warm colors seemingly explode from the paper's surface in every piece, whether it be blooming flowers or natural landscapes.

    Cunningham also used her medical background and added a scientific touch to her paintings, by portraying cellular landscapes and cellular divisions – observed via microscopes in laboratories.

    Cunningham worked with photomicroscopy as a university student and was trained as a medical lab scientist. In the 1990s, she was a contributing editor for a radiology publication, Diagnostic Imaging Asia Pacific, based in Hong Kong. Cunningham has since returned to look at medical imagery in recent months, with the help of a Tsinghua University stem cell researcher, Professor Na Jie.

    Through the brushworks of cells, Cunningham hoped to look at the future of medical capabilities, including regenerative medicine – growing replacement tissue from stem cells – and ownership of genetic information.
