Dolphins, pangolins, cats, chickens, fireflies, butterflies, deer, and hippos, became main characters for both painters and musicians at a Beijing exhibition.

Visitors enjoyed eight paintings by famous artists, while listening to eight songs connected to each painting, by singer-songwriters. The idea came from Xi Tao, a leader of a music company, who is also an art collector. "For many of us, spending time with animals helps to relax ourselves, especially during the pandemic. " He asked eight singer-songwriters of his company to name an animal, which first came to their minds. He didn't tell them that it was going to be a music project. After getting the names of the eight animals, Xi let the eight singer-songwriters decide their themes for each song.

"I have a cat and I always wanted to write a song for her. Though we cannot talk, we share the room and we know each other very well," says 24-year-old singer-songwriter Jiao, who wrote the song, named Cat Or Human, describing the similarities human beings share with cats. The song was paired with a painting by Chinese artist Tang Yongxiang, whose art piece was a white cat, named White. "It's my cat and we lived together for five years," says the artist. "She welcomes me when I get home, but she is also a little bit bad-tempered. She would turn her back toward me when she is not happy."

Singer-songwriter Zhang Xiaohou also wrote a song, named In the Night of Mega Deer Rd. The idea came from the road, named Mega Deer, in Shanghai. Japanese artist Shinya Sato says that in his painting, named Mutation, the deer is a symbol of power.
