A fine art exhibition by more than 50 artists from Beijing, Tianjin Municipality and Hebei Province has opened in the capital. The exhibtion celebrates the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

The exhibition features 20 pieces of Shao's landscape paintings created in recent years.

Shao is a renowned scholar in the contemporary art scene. He has been exploring western painting and Chinese ink painting for thirty years. These works are the result of his decades long personal research that has led to his own unique style.

"At first I studied western paintings, and I did not learn about Chinese ink painting until the 1980s. Oil and watercolor paintings are objective and concrete, while Chinese ink paintings are more connotative. They are different, but the principles are actually the same," Shao said.

This is Shao's first exhibition since 2004. It will run until September 5th.
