The artworks of the Art of Truth, Compassion, Tolerance Exhibition were produced by a diverse group of successful artists from around the world who practice Falun Dafa. The artists applied classical painting techniques to portray goodness, purity, kindness and beauty. The artworks convey the inner peace and beauty of Falun Dafa and the ongoing persecution of Falun Dafa practitioners in mainland of China. The exhibition conveys the principle that goodness is rewarded and wickedness incurs karmic retribution. It also depicts the uncompromising courage of Falun Dafa practitioners as they resist the brutal and unjust persecution.
