A new exhibition of prints from the China Print Art Museum kicked off at the Guardian Art Center. The art of printing allows culture to be spread and shared. With its unique feel and paper and ink style, printmaking is a medium that can connect with more people. With the development of digital technology and the rising demand for art appreciation, new possibilities will continue to emerge in the development of printmaking art.

According to Kang Jianfei, curator of the Guanlan International Print Collection Exhibition and professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the exhibition, covering seven major sections with more than 200 prints, aims to promote the development of printmaking art creation, research and education and allow more people to see the art form's potential.

The Guanlan Printmaking Original Industry Base was founded in 2007. After more than 10 years of development, it has become an important international printmaking exchange platform. 

The China Print Art Museum, established in the Guanlan Printmaking Base in 2014, provides a first-class physical space for international printmaking exchanges. 

The exhibition is set to run until April 28.
