"While people coming to the National Art Museum of China exhibition will see Western abstract art, they will also find fine works showing the semiabstract xieyi ("drawing the spirit") of traditional Chinese ink paintings," says Wu Weishan, director of the museum and a sculptor.
Xieyi is a unique, highly expressive style of classic Chinese painting in which a decrease of details and rather loose brushstrokes jointly render a mood of spirituality.
