Best Chinese Contemporary Art Gallery: White Rabbit

White Rabbit is a four-storey house with a tea room that houses a wide and astonishing range of contemporary Chinese art. The pieces reflect the artistic explosion in China in the last 10 years and so it’s full of visually astounding pieces that are often tremendous in size and ambition. Often too, the artisanship and skill involved in the works is overwhelming and take your experience far beyond a conceptual appreciation. The staff don’t just sit on a stool and stop you touching things; they’re happy to discuss and explain the works if you wish. The last exhibition there was tremendous and the one opening at the end of August, titled Beyond the Frame, promises to take art “way out of the conventional box”.  I’ve never been so awestruck by a collection this side of the equator.
