In December the Shanghai path takes a new direction: for the first time, Amalart's Italian artists enter into dialogue with a Chinese artist. "Date in Italy" brings together the works of Hou Chuan Fang, an artist known for his pen drawings, with those of the Italian artists presented by Amalart together with FYR Gallery.
On one side are Hou Chuan Fang's large drawings, meticulous and classical in flavour, accompanied by ceramics; on the other, Italian painting, photography and sculpture, with views of Florence, landscapes and contemporary works. The opening, on the morning of 13 December at the Hai Shang Culture Centre, brings together artists, organisers and Chinese partners.
After a year of galleries and fairs, the exhibition marks an important step: no longer simply bringing Italian art to China, but placing it in conversation with Chinese art. It is an idea that will return in many of Amalart's later projects.
