Free-spirited art
Free as Wind is an exhibition of about 30 oil paintings by young artist Luo Dan. Born in 1981 to Luo Zhongli, an acclaimed artist and president of Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts, Luo has constantly sought to break free of his father's influence and has found his voice in depicting rock 'n' roll concert scenes.

Precious collection
The Museum of Art and History Geneva brings landscape paintings by Alexandre Perrier (1862-1936) to Shanghai. Perrier dedicated his entire life to the pictorial transposition of the Swiss landscape. Influenced by Neo-impressionism, he used a technique that deconstructed his strokes into small points and lines. In the second half of his career, Perrier's style evolved towards a freer method that dissociated color and drawing.
