The International Art Exhibition for Human Rights (Truth, Compassion and Tolerance) is finally in Cape Town, after traveling the world since 2006.It’s already been to every continent and over 50 major cities worldwide including, USA (incl. New York etc.), UK (incl. London etc…), France (incl. Paris etc…), Europe , Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Asia, Russia, etc.., The paintings are an effort to promote world peace and create awareness of International Human Rights issues.

Featuring 40 paintings consisting of works of over 12 artists from Mainland China. Realist oil paintings or New Renaissance was chosen as the style for its narrative capabilities & above all simplistic purity. The exhibit would encompass four main themes, harmony, adversity, courage, & justice. Distilled in three Laws lies the essence of ancient Chinese culture, that nature is Truth, Compassion & Tolerance.

Through the practice of the ancient Chinese tradition of meditation and self-improvement, one can gain both health of body and mind. Where freedom and dignity seem truly eclipsed we see ordinary people becoming extraordinary. Truth, Compassion and Tolerance is here infused in the very marrow of the wounded, making victor of the victim, the message is ultimately one of hope and triumph.
