In conjunction with Macau’s major international cultural and art event “Art Macao: Macau International Art Biennale 2023,” MGM Macau is currently hosting the art exhibition “Super Yuan • Infinite: The Art of Xiao Qin,” which reinterprets the works of the late abstract art master Xiao Qin using innovative technology.
The exhibition is divided into 8 main areas, where viewers can appreciate the true works of Xiao Qin’s more than 60 years of artistic career in both Eastern and Western art, as well as digital art installations, etc. He began exploring and creating abstract art as early as the 1950s, blending Chinese traditional philosophy such as Zen and Taoism. In the 1960s, he became fascinated with space exploration and has been exploring the relationship between humans and the universe through space travel. Xiao Qin constantly transcended himself throughout his life, embracing the energy and spiritual aura from the universe, and expressing love and blessings in his works.
In the exhibition area “Circle of Life,” the curator combines a 3.5-meter diameter LED globe with 7 planets to create “Xiao Qin’s Spaceship.” It showcases Xiao Qin’s representative works from the Ponto period between 1961 and 1963, as well as the “Ponto” art exhibition organized by him in Europe.
And “Cosmic Spiritual Journey” is the first cross-border collaboration between Xiao Qin and Hong Kong’s renowned technology ink artist Huang Hongda. The two sets of digital installation works, “Sky Mirror” and “Infinity,” integrate art and innovative technology. In the immersive exhibition of “Sky Mirror,” Xiao Qin’s works are projected in digital form as different “planets,” symbolizing a spiritual universe that echoes the theme of the exhibition.
