A painting exhibition entitled “Move Forward” by local artist Guan Quan Chang is being held by the Macau Foundation (FM) as part of the Macau Artists Promotion Project at the Hanover Gifts Museum of Macau.
The event is sponsored by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), according to an article on Macau Foundation’s website.
Guan was born in Nanhai city in Guangdong province in November 1940. Guan was inspired by his artist father from his early childhood and developed a strong interest in calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting. He studied painting with well-known master teachers mainly focusing on traditional Chinese ink technique. He moved to Macau in 1979 and joined the Macau Hang Ian Art and Painting Association. He has often participated in art activities.
According to the article, Guan specialises in painting flowers, birds, insects, different kinds of fish and landscapes, and his particular style of using colours, composition and tone are “fresh and pleasing,” the article points out.
Guan’s work has been exhibited in Hong Kong, Macau, the mainland, South Korea, Japan, the US and elsewhere. He has also held many personal exhibitions and published art collections. The exhibition displays about 100 of his traditional Chinese paintings.
