Step into a world where ancient Buddhist cave art meets modern creativity! A dazzling exhibition at Beijing’s China National Arts and Crafts Museum is celebrating Chang Shana, a 93-year-old artistic legend whose work has shaped China’s cultural landscape for over 80 years.
From Cave Walls to Canvas
The showcase highlights Chang’s lifelong obsession with Dunhuang art – the mesmerizing murals and sculptures from China’s Silk Road grottoes. Visitors can trace her journey from meticulously copying ancient designs in her youth to creating bold, contemporary patterns that rocked fashion runways and global exhibitions.
