The “Abode of Immortals — Tai Xiangzhou Ink Paintings” exhibition is being held at Four Seasons Macao until March 14. Entry is free.

The exhibition showcases 38 of Tai’s artworks, including his bronze sculpture “Min Fanglei” and two featured paintings — “Celestial Chaos” and “The Edge of Planet No. 3.”

At a young age, Tai studied Chinese literature and calligraphy with renowned practitioners Hu Gongshi and Wang Wenjun. His doctoral dissertation from Tsinghua University, focusing on cosmology and traditional landscape art, was critically acclaimed. He uses traditional Chinese materials — brushes, ink, paper and silk — to combine science, philosophy and art, exploring the link between the universe and spirituality to define contemporary cosmology. Focusing on Song Dynasty (960-1279) landscape paintings and calligraphy, he is rooted in the Chinese painting tradition, boldly reinterpreting the genre, and meticulously capturing elements of nature including rocks, trees, clouds, mist and water.

Tai has held over 30 individual exhibitions around the world, and his art pieces have been collected by 22 domestic and international museums, art galleries and academic institutions including the Brooklyn Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago and Yale University Art Gallery.

Dates: Until March 14

Hours: 11 a.m.-7 p.m.

Venue: Grand Atelier, 6/F, The Grand Suites at Four Seasons Macao, Cotai Strip, Macao
