US-based Chinese artist Xie Caomin obviously likes symmetric polygons very much. In his ongoing solo exhibition Circle of The Ruins presented by the Other Gallery (Beijing), he showcases oil paintings of complicated and colorful polygons.
Xie names the series Mandala, which reveals the origin of these geometrical forms - Buddhism. The name also reflects the artist's willingness to cross boundaries and create his own cultural understanding. At the same time, Xie shows his great passion for iconography.
10.30 am to 6 pm, until Aug 26. Other Gallery (Beijing), 798 Art Zone, 2 Jiuxianqiao Lu, Chaoyang district, Beijing. 010-6431-9684.
