[Tate Modern](https://londondrum.com/attractions/tate-modern.php) will be putting on their first-ever show dedicated to Asian ink painting, exploring the enduring beauty of this traditional art-form.

The exhibition will feature around 80 works from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, split across three distinct themes - _Life, The Garden_ and _Breath_.

The show will highlight some of the philosophical practices behind ink painting, touching on its relationship to the natural world and its long historical continuity, explaining how today's artists are helping to re-invent it for the modern world - pushing it forward with bold experimentation, whilst staying true to its core principles.
