-Brand New Exhibition-
“THE ART OF BAMBOO: from Qilin to Contemporary Art”
Cheers to a New Year! Our new exhibition, “THE ART OF BAMBOO: from Qilin to Contemporary Art”, is now open at GalaxyArt!
Following the success of GalaxyArt’s inaugural exhibition, our second exhibition – “THE ART OF BAMBOO” – showcases how this traditional bamboo craft evolves into the contemporary art scene. Amongst the many exhibits is a five-meter-long “Flying Qilin” floating over the gallery, allowing visitors to walk underneath its body to discover its intricate internal structure. It is purposefully covered and decorated only partially so as to reveal the different stages of its fabrication process.
“THE ART OF BAMBOO” is now open to the general public till May 15, 2022. Admission is free and docent-led guided tours are available daily.

"Yangliuqing
New Year Woodblock Prints"
Yangliuqing New Year Woodblock Prints (also called “New Year Pictures” or “Nianhua”) originated from China and are regarded as common house decorations during the Chinese New Year to bring luck and dispel calamity. Traditional New Year Pictures are created with woodblock printing by using rigid lines and bright color, such as red, blue and yellow, to bring the message of festival atmosphere and auspicious blessings.
