Ode to human form

Foremost sculptor WangKeping's solo exhibition at the 10 Chancery Lane Gallery continues his obsession with the human body. Through his sculptures, he conveys simplicity and nature that are essential to Asian spiritual philosophies. "Through his bestial erotic forms and swirling lines he works with a language of natural intuition of space and object, collaborating with his material and the secrets it has to reveal," says gallery founder Katie de Tilly.

10 am-6 pm, Tuesday to Saturday, through Feb 28. G/F, 10 Chancery Lane, SoHo, Central. 852-2810-0065.

Focus on people

Beijing

Chinese paintings of the 20th century broke away from traditional rules by shifting the focus from landscape to people, as artists felt obligated or were required to paint people from different walks of life, living up to their social responsibilities. Images of People, an exhibition at the National Art Museum of China, shows dozens of portraits and other paintings from the museum's holdings. Highlight works include Liu Wenxi's Four Generations and Zhou Sicong's Premier Zhou Enlai. 9 am-5 pm, through March 11. 1 Wusi Dajie, Dongcheng district. 010-6400-1476.
