The Mandarin Oriental, Macau will be unveiling an exhibition of contemporary Chinese art in its lobby at 6:30 pm tonight, as part of the celebrations to mark its 15th year at its present location.
The exhibition, entitled Modern Vision, Timeless Techniques, features the works of local female artists Leong Kit Man and Tsang Tseng Tseng, showcasing their ability to anchor contemporary aesthetics in Chinese artistic traditions. A total of 15 pieces have been chosen for display, aligning with the hotel’s anniversary.

President of Art for All Society (AFA), and the exhibition’s curator, Alice Kok said that Macao was an “ideal” location to showcase the two artists’ paintings, as the city serves “as a meeting point of Eastern and Western cultures.” She said that “their works collectively demonstrate how these ancient art forms remain vibrant through thoughtful reinterpretation and cultural exchange.”
The exhibition will be on display in the lobby and Lobby Lounge until 31 August.
