Arts | ‘Connection with Water’ exhibition opens

The Museum of Art (MAM) has launched a series of contemporary sculpture exhibitions entitled “A Sculpture”. The exhibitions aim to promote the development of contemporary sculpture art in the region.
Last week a private viewing of the sculpture “Connection with Water” by the artist Yang Xiaohua was held in front of the museum.
The sculpture “Connection with Water,” a sequel to the artist’s “Water Series,” is composed of water ripples and three differently sized water droplets, according to a MAM press release.
The three droplets in the upper part of the structure represent Macau, Zhuhai and Hong Kong, while its ripple-
shaped foundation illustrates how the Pearl River connects the three regions.
The work is finished in stainless steel and its polished surface depicts the flourishing prosperity of the three places following the completion of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
The exhibition “Connection with Water – Yang Xiaohua” will be held until January 8, 2017 in front of the museum.
Xiaohua taught at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts after graduating from the Department of Sculpture with a bachelor’s degree in 1992. He studied at the International Art Centre in Paris in 2000, and received the Overseas Studies Scholarship offered by the Ministry of Education to study in Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia in August 2005, where he earned a master’s degree in Russian Arts in 2007.
