Art exhibit to usher in a new year of discovery

The Art Beijing 2020, the Chinese capital's largest art expo held annually since 2006, was scheduled for May but postponed several times due to the pandemic, and eventually cancelled.

But its organizers are warming up to a reboot next year with a special group show at the Lei Shing Hong Art Center in northern Beijing.

Running through Jan 3, the three-part exhibition, Art Beijing Discovery 2020, encompasses more than 100 oils, prints, sculptures and mixed media works, created by 10 established artists of the older generations, 10 emerging young artists, and 10 newly graduated art majors from the China Central Academy of Fine Arts.
