In Love with Macao – Calligraphy and Paintings of Macao
Being one of the earliest points for China’s exchanges with the West, Macau has always been a place where Chinese and Western cultures have clashed and blended, with Western trends and techniques influencing several art forms. However, the truly traditional arts of Chinese calligraphy, painting and seal carving have maintained their strong vitality all along – and this exhibition will put them in focus. The show will feature a total of 90 artworks by artists who lived in the city from the 1930s to the 21st century or somehow had ties with Macau. They include Shang Yanliu, Zheng Jin, Gao Jianfu, Li Xiangen, and Lin Jin, among others. Come check out the role and contributions Macau has played in the wider context of Chinese painting and calligraphy.
When: 10:00am—7:00pm, Friday—Sunday (closed on Mondays), July 14—August 4
Where: Macao Museum of Art, Avenida Xian Xing Hai, NAPE, Macau
