Art that spans the seas
Different from traditional exhibitions where artists' works are showcased for a limited period, the idea behind this new vehicle for exhibiting art is that each of these artists becomes the symbol of a street or a landmark, and that their works are preserved and exhibited permanently to the public, making it an exhibition that transcends time.
Through this project, the city of Meri underwent a transformation, gaining a renewed aesthetic appeal and embracing cultural diversity with works from around the world.
Lorenzo Chinnici says that his designs and visions were interpreted and executed perfectly by Francesco Chinnici and Wang.
"Their intent is to promote art as a universal language, bestowing upon this project the immortality that can only be achieved through art," Lorenzo Chinnici says.
"With this project, I would like for all young artists, whom I feel a bit like a father to, to be able to interact with each other and connect with the world. I am old, and it is right to leave room for new talent."
Guiyahui is the only organization authorized to bring the project to China and use these artworks freely for nonprofit purposes. With its previous connection to the project, Huangshan became the first city in China to host it.
On May 20, the project, Timeless Immortal Art International, was launched in Huangshan's Tunxi district, themed on "by art we are connected, in Tunxi we meet the world". The launch was accompanied by the establishment of a friendly cooperative relationship between the district and Meri.
The China edition includes the exhibition of 61 works. Eighteen works are created by Chinese artists, among whom 13 are representative figures of the Xin'an school, a style of traditional Chinese landscape painting from the Huangshan region that dates back to the late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
