New Abstraction From China
Sensitive works by leading Beijing artist HU Qinwu present an aspect of contemporary art from China not usually seen in Australia. Borne of the scholarly tradition of Chinese painting but defying the confines of culture and category, time and place, HU Qinwu's command of ink, tempera, acrylic, oil and print media signals the burgeoning of an abstract style amongst a young generation of artists in Beijing.
