The Belgravia Exhibition and will feature 18 Chinese artists, with 4 of the artists being former prisoners of the Chinese concentrations camps, and includes the deeply expressive renaissance-style oil painting and traditional Chinese watercolour by world renowned Chinese Art Director, Professor Zhang Kunlun, whose work and great sculptures are featured in WHO'S WHO in the world of Art, bringing together a collection of diverse artists following his detention as a prisoner of conscience in China for his practice of Falun Gong - an ancient Chinese tradition of peace of mind through meditation and self purification.

“This Art Exhibition aims to provide an understanding of Chinese culture and to promote cultural exchange through paintings that portray pure truth, pure compassion and pure beauty to help humanity to return art to its rightful path in a world where people's aesthetic sense has been warped to the point where they can no longer distinguish between good and evil”. Says Miatra Miraftabi, organizer of the Exhibition

Exhibiting artists hope to not only provide an artistic feast, but also to provide a greater sense of meaning in life that seeks to carry forward humankind's traditional values and culture by demonstrating the beauty of legends of virtue and a connection through a common love of expressive peaceful arts.

The Exhibition walks viewers on a glorious path, leaving such valuable footsteps that only history can judge in a world where people's aesthetic sense has already warped to the point where they can no longer distinguish between good and evil.

In the Exhibition, the artists grapple with questions of good and evil, as well as divinity and the true meaning of life and how divinity wins against evil. This splendid art captures the immeasurable beauty in pure compassion and peace and harmony. Artists express a universal value, which ultimately leaves viewers with a sense of hope, love and kindness.
