Terrific trio

Three solo exhibitions run simultaneously at Today Art Museum in downtown Beijing.

Central Academy of Fine Arts professor Sui Jianguo's solo show features huge sculptures and installations that aim to tackle the relations between exhibited works and viewers, and exhibited works and the exhibition spaces.

Veteran South Korean artist Lee Dooshik's one-man show presents some of his best abstract paintings done with acrylic on canvases. Lee has been hailed as a pioneer of the so-called Oriental Abstract Art in his homeland. He mainly draws visual and philosophical inspirations from folk art and Asian classics, including Tao Te Ching.

In his seemingly poetic oil works (pictured), American-Chinese artist Chen Yuanchu expresses his concerns over the conflict between the fragile natural environment and the insatiable human consumption of natural resources by depicting two "parallel worlds in discord".

10am-5pm, until Oct 15
