THEMED “Data and Beauty,” the Artron Art Center subvenue of the 20th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industries Fair (ICIF), presents a series of events blending technologies and art.

Two digital art exhibitions on the first floor provide a distinctive experience for visitors. “Dream of Red Mansions: A Digital Presentation” showcases the allure of this timeless classic through digital art, ultra-high-definition illustrated art collections, and creative cultural merchandise, breathing new life into this ancient artistic treasure and offering a multi-layered experience to visitors.

“Echoes of the Snowy Plateau: A Digital Exhibition of Tibetan Culture and Art” delivers immersive and interactive viewing experiences, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the enchanting charm of Tibetan mural art. Created by Artron’s digital collection team after years of painstaking effort, this exhibition revitalizes centuries-old murals, bringing their grandeur to light before your eyes.

“The Codices of the Masters: Collection of Handmade Books by Eastern and Western Masters” exhibition on the center’s iconic book wall gives visitors a rare chance to admire precious books crafted by artists, such as Sanyu, Zao Wou-ki, Andy Warhol and Henri Matisse.

Beyond being repositories of text and imagery, these splendid books epitomize the artists’ creativity, narratives, and concepts, offering a distinctive allure that is increasingly rare in today’s digital age.

Another book exhibition, titled “Artron Manufacturing Presents: The Most Beautiful Book Exhibition,” highlights award-winning Artron-printed books. It promises readers an experience that captures the warmth and beauty of paper.

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Hungary, “The Journey: János Fajó and the PESTI Workshop” on the fifth floor features over 50 abstract paintings and silkscreen printing works by János Fajó and artists from the PESTI Workshop.

For enthusiasts of traditional art, the “Chinese Masterpieces of Calligraphy and Painting Throughout the Ages: Artron Digital Printing Cultural Exhibition” on the second floor presents replicated artworks created using Artron’s state-of-the-art digital printing technologies, reproducing paintings dating back a millennium.
