An exhibition of oil paintings by Tibetan artists opened at Macau Fisherman’s Wharf yesterday.
The exhibits include over 50 oil paintings by 27 artists of different generations in the Xizang Autonomous Region, displaying the natural sceneries of Tibet and the unique Tibetan culture.
Xizang is Tibet’s Chinese name.
Duan Shengqian, vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles of Tibet, said they hoped to continuously deepen cultural and artistic exchanges between Tibet and Macau, and help promote fine Tibetan art works outside the Chinese mainland to showcase the life and spiritual world of people living on the plateau region.
Painting art groups in Xizang and Macau started cultural exchanges in the 1980s and stepped up the efforts since Macau returned to the motherland on December 20, 1999.
Co-organized by the Macau Artist Society, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles of Tibet and the Tibet Oil Painting Society, the exhibition will run at Fisherman’s Wharf’s Galeria Lisboa through Monday. – Xinhua, MPD
