Chu Chao’s abstract landscape paintings are being exhibited at Hwa’s Gallery at Lisboeta Macau H853 Fun Factory in Cotai, with exhibitiongoers able to admire the works for the remainder of its run until Sunday.
The Yixing-born contemporary artist’s free-admission exhibition, which was launched last month and is titled “Boundless: Chu Chao Macau Solo Exhibition, mainly comprises acrylics depicting abstract scenes, though there are also two smaller works created by using watercolours featuring the city of Kamogawa in Japan’s Chiba Prefecture. All the works showcased were created over a period of two years.
The pieces demonstrate Chu’s “technical maturity”, with each work “striking a balance between compositional stability and dynamic expression”, according to a recent statement by Hwa’s Gallery (formerly known as the Humarish Club).
The pieces on display mark “a significant evolution in both style and medium, leaving from the previous focus on graphic and symbolic themes to seamless blending with the refined aesthetics of Eastern traditions and the expressive techniques of Western art”, according to the statement.
Chu, according to his information displayed at the gallery, was born in 1989 and has had various solo exhibitions over the last 10 years that were mainly held in the mainland in places such as his hometown of Yixing, Jiangsu Province, along with Shanghai and Suzhou. He has also joined group exhibitions. His works, the statement noted, have been collected by celebrities and prominent entrepreneurs.
The exhibits are for sale.
Exhibitiongoers may visit Hwa’s Gallery from 12 noon to 8 p.m. until Sunday.
