This gallery was funded by Laojia (originally named Jia Haoyi), a first-class artist in Beijing Painting Academy.
Covering 3,500 square meters, Laojia Art Gallery takes up a construction area of 1,000 square meters with 400-square-meter exhibition area. Inside the gallery, you will see a lotus pond, green lands, showrooms, corridors as well as a large-scale basso-relievo entitled "Unity is Strength".
Laojia's works are represented by freehand wash paintings. You will find his works energetic and powerful instead of graceful and delicate, which exerts strong impacts on the visitors' vision.
Laojia once remarked, "I paint what I want to paint, I use the means I might use, and I want to obtain the effects I want to achieve-follow up my own feelings." Laojia's works have been displayed on many art exhibitions at home and abroad and treasured up by many art galleries in foreign countries.
