Museum exhibition showcases novel landscape sculptures

The National Art Museum of China in Beijing is currently hosting an exhibition of unique landscape sculptures by Zhang Xinyu until June 17. 

Having graduated from the China Academy of Art, Zhang Xinyu is now dean of the Institute of Art Innovation and Design at Zhejiang University of Technology. As an acclaimed artist, he has established a unique approach to creating sculptures and public art works. His work conveys the aesthetics of traditional landscape paintings through the techniques of modern formative arts, bringing out a sense of dynamism and a poetic quality with smooth, flowing lines.
