Under the skin
Heidi Bucher: Beyond the Skins, an exhibition about the Swiss artist now on at the Red Brick Art Museum, has been extended to Jan 21.Bucher (1926-93) was known for her use of latex to make work that reflected on family structure, individual memory and the collective experience of history and society. The exhibition offers a retrospective on her career by showing drawings, collages, images and the wearable sculptures for which she is famous. Yan Zi, Red Brick Art Museum's curatorial assistant, says that Bucher's art is like a fossil imbued with an energy that has enabled it to thrive and stand the test of time to leave a deep, indelible mark.

Ease and delicacy
The Song Art Museum's ongoing exhibition, Unconstraint Behind Meticulousness, teams up three young artists known for the meticulous detail in their work. Their delicate brushwork makes their paintings a mental pleasure, and, beneath the nuanced, precisely delimited colors, their work ushers viewers into a universe of relaxation. Li Yousong's paintings reflect his solid training as an architect, and his work also has a cinematic feeling. Wang Lu likes to use the textures of iron, paper and wood to present semi-realistic, semi-fantasy scenes. Li Huashuai impresses with his layering of shades of blue, which evoke ease and slight sadness. Curated by Zeng Zirong, the exhibition runs until Jan 17.
