LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A new exhibition is now open at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art.

It's called "From Grain to Pixel: Contemporary Chinese Photography" and it showcases 37 works by 14 Chinese artists, which were created between 1993 and 2006.

"From Grain to Pixel illustrates an exciting transition in the use of photography for self-expression in China. For these artists, photography served as a powerful media to reckon with their placement within a very charged and pivotal moment in history," said Demecina Beehn, MGM Resorts Director of Art & Culture. "Through this exhibition, we celebrate these preeminent conceptual artists of China and their trailblazing work in photography."

Guests will start their journey through a gateway with paper lanterns, vines, and gold chains. There is also a light box illuminating a distance landscape. Guests are encouraged to personalize and tie their own wishing tag to the golden chains, leaving behind aspirations for the future inspired by their visit.
