Chinese Brush Painting Exhibition opens at City of Dreams

More than 200 Chinese brush paintings created by illustrious Chinese master painters and calligraphers are now on display for free in the Grand Ballroom on the second floor of the Grand Hyatt Macau. The exhibition was organized by the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, with support from other art associations from the mainland and the MSAR.
Aiming to promote the philosophy of art and culture, as well as to reinforce the spirit of the principle “love China, love Macau,” the exhibition runs until Thursday. Exhibited masterpieces include paintings and calligraphic works presented by Mr Liu Dawei, President of the Chinese Artists Association, Mr Yan Gongda, vice chairman of the Chinese Calligraphers Association, and Mr Xiao Han, President of the China Talent Research Professional Committee for Painting and Calligraphy, among others.
“I am honored to have gained tremendous support from the Macau SAR government and all supporting bodies. Knowing that Melco Crown Entertainment has been supporting the central government in pursuing adequate diversification of Macau’s cultural development, I would like to extend my special thanks to Melco Crown Entertainment – particularly the Co-chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr Lawrence Ho, for his genuine support making this exhibition a success, from planning to the opening. I am glad that we shared the same vision to nurture the cultural development of mainland China and Macau, as well as to enhance the artistic and cultural development of Macau,” said Li Xiaolin, President of the organizing body, while officiating at the opening ceremony.
