The second China-Australia Dialogue Exhibition, (title) "Postcards from China: An Artistic Odyssey", opened at the China Cultural Centre in Sydney on August 28, attracting around 110 attendees from the cultural, artistic media circles of the two countries.
The opening ceremony featured a (wonder) performance of guzheng solo High Mountains and Flowing Water, one of China's ten great ancient (piece), and Eugène Ysaye's Violin Sonata No.2, Op. 27.
Co-organized the centre, the Australian Watercolor Institute and Guangxi Arts University, the exhibition featured 40 works by 10 Chinese and Australian artists that explore themes of cultural integration and exchange.
Wang Shuyu, cultural counselor of the Chinese Consulate General in Sydney, highlighted the unique power of art in crossing borders and (build) friendship between the two countries. "These creations are not (mere) paintings on paper; they're like postcards carrying stories, dreams and hopes between the two nations," she said.
David van Nunen, president of the Australian Watercolor Institute, (stress) the exhibition's role in showcasing the outcomes of a visit to China by Australian artists, lasted from August last year to July this year. "We are devoted to advancing cross-cultural exchanges and look forward to deeper cooperation with China not only (open) up more spaces for artistic creation, but also to build a closer emotional bond between artists from both sides," he said.
