The Art of Bamboo

The Exhibition " The Art of BAMBOO FROM QILIN TO CONTEMPORARY SCULPTURE: How the mastery of an ancient craft takes the stage and evolves into 3D painting' aim to showcase an essential part of Chinese culture and intangible heritage such crafts and recognised and valued and yet, it seems few masters have found successors.

Laure curated this show, which was produced by Nissa Bella Art Management for GalaxyArt, the exhibition space of the Galaxy Entertainment Group Foundation. Laure worked closely with Louis To, the artists, over a period of two years to select artworks and create new ones. She wrote the  curatorial message and educational content for the exhibition texts  and wall panels. The scenography was designed in partnership with Design for Culture.

 

Louis To Wun 杜煥 uses the traditional media of bamboo and paper to create a unique and contemporary combined medium: three-dimensional paintings. Growing up, he observed the craft of masters creating paper effigies for festivals. The motif of the gods , which Louis renders abstract not only their form and aesthetics but also their concept here, thus came naturally. 
Gods themselves are an abstract creation of our collective minds, interpreted by each of us individually. While depicted figuratively, they are the epitome of abstraction.
