The second BFC Art Festival which is running till August features an array of cultural and art programs.
The second BFC Art Festival has kicked off at the Bund Finance Center and features a variety of cultural and artistic programs.
It ends on August 7.
Contemporary French artist Bertrand Lavier is bringing his representative artworks to a grand art exhibition, his first on the Chinese mainland.
The 73-year-old artist rose to international prominence at the 1976 Venice Biennale in Italy.
Lavier was able to transform images from contemporary mass culture into works of art. He tried to explore the contradictory relationship between fine art and its depiction, reality, and simulation.
Many of his innovative works blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture, demonstrating a balance of compelling visual images and conceptual gestures.
The exhibition is on display until September 4.
The outdoor plaza in the center’s north block is now a platform for displaying artwork from 20 or more local galleries. Visitors can view amazing pottery and fine handicrafts, both traditional and modern, at the Kyoto House until July 20.
The center is hosting art bazaars on weekends until July 24. The city’s art institutions will display their unique cultural items and host interactive events. Illustrations by winners of the Hans Christian Andersen Awards are also on display until July 31.
A dozen art installations are displayed in the center’s public areas.
