Av. Xian Xing Hai S/N,
NAPE Macao, Macao
Apr 22, 2009 To Jan 03, 2010


Detail: The exhibition showcases over one hundred works of art from Macao, including watercolours, Chinese paintings, prints and contemporary paintings in oils, acrylics, mixed media and so forth. Some of these works are selected from the list of 300 works shown in the exhibition �Confluence: Collection from the Macao Museum of Art� held at the National Art Museum of China in Beijing during March this year. Macao is a metaphor for the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. Upon arriving in Macao in early 1825, British painter George Chinnery introduced watercolour painting contributing greatly to the promotion of this genre and making it the mainstream painting of Macao in the 20th century. Inspired by the streets, houses, churches, temples and customs of Macao, the artists have captured the unique charm of the city from myriad angles and with insightful brushwork. From the watercolours exhibited in this exhibition that depict the landscape of Macao, audiences can glimpse the changes that occurred in this small city from the 1940s to the present day.
