Shanghai painter's works show a fairy world
Shanghai artist Chai Yiming is a lover of classic Chinese literature and folk tales about fairies, ghosts and mysteries. He is inspired by these stories to paint ink works in which he creates a world inhabited by fairies.
His many paintings adopt the traditional style of blue-green landscapes of Chinese ink art, or are derived from his experiments to present the texture of ink and paper. Dozens of Chai's paintings are now on show at Expecting a Spring Breeze, a solo exhibition in Beijing.
