For thousands of years, thangka paintings - a traditional Tibetan Buddhist art - have been placed at temples.
Now, painter Orgyan Chopel is giving this sacred art a contemporary look.
The Tibetan artist's solo show, which begins at Beijing's Yilian Art Center on Saturday, features 45 thangka paintings done since 2011.
