Beijing’s art scene is galloping into 2026 with Fan Yanyan’s groundbreaking silk exhibition at Yindi Art Museum, blending centuries-old techniques with contemporary vibes. The show opened last Tuesday (Jan 13) featuring new works inspired by this year’s Year of the Horse zodiac theme 🐴✨.
Visitors are treated to a sensory feast: delicate silk landscapes shimmer alongside bold equine designs, while Fan’s collaboration with musician Fang Jinlong creates live ‘Harmony of Dragon and Horse’ performances 🎶. Our reporter Yang Yan describes it as "TikTok meets Tang Dynasty – ancient poetry written in neon threads."
Fan, known for reviving forgotten silk-dyeing methods, told Yang: "Today’s youth crave roots AND wings. My art says you can have both." The exhibition runs through March 1 – perfect timing for Lunar New Year travelers seeking cultural adventures 🧧.
