To mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and France, an oil painting exhibition organized by the China Culture Center in Paris was held for a culture exchange between young artists from the two countries in Paris from Mar. 19 to April 5, 2014.

The exhibition featured more than 40 oil paintings by 10 French artists and 27 Chinese artists. All the Chinese were recommended by China's top ten national art academies owing to their creative works reflecting personal visions of modern times.
