Art in Capitals gallery for the second time gives you a chance to enjoy the refined and intriguing artworks of the talented British artist Paul Lisak in Mainland China.

The gallery presents some new artworks of the artists dedicated to the Greek myth of Aphrodite and Adonis.

The ancient tragic story of Aphrodite (Venus in Roman mythology) and Adonis has much the same great cultural significance in the West as Shakespeare’s love story of Romeo and Juliette, and the same as Niulang and Zhinv or Liang Shanbo and Zhu Intai legends in China. During the centuries the story of the eternal struggle between the Beauty and the Sin, between the Love and the Fate, the story of the Death and the Rebirth excited people’s feelings and inspired great artists to create their enduring masterpieces.
