Inspired by their April trip to Switzerland, 12 cutting-edge Chinese ink artists have created works that depict their impressions of the European country's people, lifestyles and landscapes.

These works are on show at Beijing's Rongbaozhai Art Museum. The art event marks the beginning of a long-term cooperation between the Chinese Artists Association and the Swiss Foundation Alps-Chinese Ink Painting to promote Chinese ink art.

"We hope these ink paintings offer European viewers, who are accustomed to oil art, a fresh aesthetic experience," Chinese Artists Association chairman Liu Dawei says.

10 am-5 pm, closed on Mondays, until Oct 27. Rongbaozhai Art Museum, 19 Liulichang Xijie, Xicheng district. 010-6303-6802.
