Two days ago, on December 16, Beijing’s Guardian Art Center unveiled “Beyond the Mirror: Italian Contemporary Art Exhibition,” inviting visitors into a dynamic dialogue across time and space.
Running through March 10, 2026, the show features 65 works by 13 leading Italian artists. Their creations span vivid urban landscapes, contemplations on natural philosophy, and experiments with light, shadow and physical materials, weaving a tapestry that reflects the complexity of nature, humanity, history and everyday life.
By bringing together such diverse perspectives, the exhibition offers a snapshot of Italy’s cutting-edge art scene, from immersive installations to intricate sketches that challenge how we see the world around us.
Marking the 55th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the Chinese mainland and Italy, “Beyond the Mirror” is more than a celebration of art—it’s a bridge for cultural exchange. Young travelers, art enthusiasts and digital nomads are encouraged to explore this fusion of creativity, capturing a moment where East meets West in one of Beijing’s most vibrant cultural hubs.
Whether you’re planning a weekend gallery crawl or seeking fresh inspiration for a creative project, this exhibition is a must-visit. Step beyond the mirror and discover how Italian contemporary art is reframing global conversations in the heart of China’s capital.
