A number of works created by artist Zha Rui are currently on display at the Rui Cunha Foundation (FRC) for the “Macau City Walk. City Story – Zha Rui Art Exhibition”, which is on until Saturday.
Featuring local landmarks, scenes and staples, those visiting the exhibition will find digitally created works and oils, among others, that are related to Macau’s culture, heritage and the city’s transformation over the past decade. The way the works are presented include those on canvas and the cultural and creative products on display.
Zha, according to a curator’s statement displayed at the gallery, has been living in Macau for a decade. In this exhibition, she reflects on her initial impressions of Macau’s rich cultural aspects, reinterpreting the city’s “unique charm, vividly portraying its vibrant living cultures and architectural landscapes”.
Its theme, meanwhile, is “Dimensional Reconstruction”, showing Zha’s “profound reflections on the reshaping of space and culture”, with all the works exploring the values of art and incorporating culture with personal artistic expression.
Moreover, the statement said that the artist aims to showcase Macau beyond just being a tourist attraction, but is also a place of “cultural richness”.
The exhibition is organised by the foundation in conjunction with the Macau Youth Art Association and the Macau Artist Society. One can view the works from today through Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Saturday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Admission is free.
