A total of 18 wood engravings are being showcased in an art exhibition titled “Wood Engraving” which runs until May 13 at Macao Polytechnic University’s (MPU) Lam Kan Exhibition Gallery.

The opening ceremony was held on April 23.

According to an MPU statement, the “Wood Engraving” exhibition curated by Chu Kin Fat has two themes – “Catholicism” and “Life and Portraits”. The works are displayed in the form of “paintings” that are printed through Chu’s engravings, it added.

The statement pointed out that Chu studied engraving art at Macao Polytechnic Institute (the MPU’s predecessor) and obtained a bachelor’s degree in Arts in Visual Art, whose works mostly reflect life and feelings.

The exhibition has been organised by the Macao Polytechnic University and its Alumni Association under the project titled “New Hands-On Talent Development Programme” in conjunction with gaming resort operator Sands China.

The MPU cooperated with Sands in launching the “New Hands-On Talent Development Programme” in 2019, providing opportunities for its students and alumni to display their artworks.

The gallery opens from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. from Monday to Sunday. It is located on the MPU campus in Rua de Luís Gonzaga Gomes (高美士街) in Zape.

The statement stressed that according to the Health Bureau’s (SSM) pandemic prevention measures, visitors must wear a facemask, undergo a temperature check and present a valid green Macau Health Code.
