An exhibition entitled “Moboboo and Mocacaa Sports Paradise Themed Illustration Exhibition” is taking place at the free-admission 10 Fantasia Gallery until April 30, with the works on display featuring twin giant pandas as its centre stage.
Displayed in the gallery’s room B07, the works on display feature giant twin pandas named Moboboo and Mocacaa, the brainchildren of local illustrator Zoe (何嘉怡). Each character finds itself is portrayed as taking part in various sports. From being fight-ready by donning boxing gloves or wearing traditional karate attire (aka karate gi) to playing football, table tennis and fencing, each depiction features the character engaging in sport.
The works were created through mixed media and acrylics, but exhibitiongoers will also be greeted with a large statue of the two characters dressed in car-racing leathers displayed in the centre of the room.
A recent statement displayed at the exhibition noted that the both pandas are also sharing the joy of sport, conveying “a positive lifestyle attitude to the public”, which strengthens physical health and brings “endless joy and vitality”.
10 Fantasia Gallery is located on Calçada da Igreja de S. Lázaro (瘋堂斜巷). Exhibitiongoers may view the works throughout the exhibition period from Tuesdays to Sundays from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The gallery is closed on Mondays. More exhibition details can be found by visiting the 10 Fantasia website.
