Shan Feiming @ M97 Gallery
“Waking from Hibernation” features new, large format photographs from Hangzhou-based artist, Shan Feiming. The theme of the show is timely, as it refers to a re-awakening in springtime and continues Shan’s fascination with the natural world, which he captures with a detached otherworldliness reminiscent of his photographic hero, German, Wim Wenders.
“Waking from Hibernation” is on show until 11 May at M97 Gallery, 2F, 97 Moganshan Lu, near Aomen Lu.

Paramat Leung On @ LWH Gallery
This contemporary Thai artist is best known for his spiritually inspired works – gleaned from many years practicing art alongside Buddhism. Nature runs through each of his classically crafted paintings, which are at once calm and bold, colourful and serene. Unsurprisingly, Paramat spent his early working years painting temples in his homeland.
“Peace of Mind” is on show until 30 April at LWH Gallery, Room 102, Building 14, 50 Moganshan Lu, near Xi Suzhou Lu. Web: www.lwhgallery.com
“Warehouse Story” @Vanguard Gallery
To celebrate Vanguard's ten-year anniversary, they are putting on a group show featuring some of their favourite gallery artists. Bi Rongrong, Liu Fei, Xiao Jiang and Zhang Lehua paint in different styles from one another and also from mainstream Chinese contemporary artists.
