Curated by Shen Kuiyi, an art history professor at the University of California in San Diego, Dancing with Rope features ink paintings created with ropes, old newspapers and Chinese xuan papers by New York-based artist and art educator Ross Lewis, or 李如侠, as he named himself. Since his twenties, Lewis has studied Chinese calligraphy and landscape painting with renowned Chinese artists and art collector C.C. Wang. He has also studied in Taiwan, exchanging ideas with leading talents in the field. Applying a creative approach that combines decoupage with Chinese literati paintings, Lewis has created one-of-a-kind, memorable works that will inspire artists for generations to come. > Until Dec 15, 11am-7.30pm (tueFri), 9.30am-7.30pm (Sat-Sun), closed on Mondays. hall 3, rMcA, c4, redtory, 128 Yuancun Si heng lu, tianhe District 天河区员村四 横路128号红专厂当代艺术馆3号馆 (8557 4417)
Contemporary Blue and White Porcelain Exhibition
Winning the British FX International Design Award in 2011 and awarded China Interior Annual Influential Figure in 2012, senior interior architect Cui Huafeng is renowned for his breathtaking blue and white porcelain. Cui wouldn’t call them ‘artwork’ because he has been “trying to understand the meaning of art, but…it is still a mess.” He is a craftsman who combines the elements of fire and earth under the control of temperature or, in his words, the “God behind blue and white porcelain”, to tell the contemporary story of China. > Until Jan 5, 10am-10pm (closed on Mondays).
