Seeing The Kite Again Series II

Date: 13 June 2011 - 12 November 2012

Event Type: Exhibition

This exhibition is inspired by the late master Wu Guanzhong’s metaphor of a kite and how it expresses the connection between an artist, his life and the people around him.  By bridging Chinese and Western aesthetics, Wu blazed the trail for the modernization of Chinese art. In 2008, the internationally acclaimed artist donated his largest gift of 113 important works to the National Heritage Board. The current exhibition showcases some of Wu’s most outstanding works produced from 1960s to 2000s in the oil and ink medium.
