Ink vitality

At 90, ink artist Cui Zhenkuan continues to rejuvenate the timeless tradition of Chinese ink painting. Noble and Glorious, an exhibition now underway at Zhejiang Art Museum, in Hangzhou, traces the evolution of his five-decade career through a striking selection of works on paper, on display until Nov 30.Renowned for his mastery of the jiaomo (dried ink) technique — where dense, layered washes evoke monumental landscapes — Cui's art channels the vastness and vitality of Northwest China, where he grew up. The exhibition features his recent works, including an ink ball installation reflecting his pursuit of a state of harmony and self-perfection. This is the third stop of the traveling show, following its runs in Beijing and Nanjing, Jiangsu province, earlier this year.
9 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays. 138 Nanshan Lu, Hangzhou. 0571-8707-8700.
