Exhibition entitled Refuge is part of the Asian Diasporas Program, which takes place from March to May
CTG Brasil is the sponsor of the exhibition Chen Kong Fang—The refuge, at Instituto Tomie Ohtake, in São Paulo. The exhibition is part of the Asian Diasporas program that highlights the creative impulse of artists coming from China, South Korea and Japan (or even born in Brazil, in immigrant families), examples of their migratory flows and, at the same time, cases singular within the history of Brazilian art.
“Our support for exhibitions like this is one of the ways to reinforce our commitment to promoting national culture and promoting relevant initiatives for society. Furthermore, there is a special meaning in recognizing the richness of Chinese culture and thus valuing our origin, as part of the China Three Gorges Corporation, one of the global leaders in clean energy”, says Luis Lisboa Humphreys, business performance manager at CTG Brazil.
Curated by Paulo Miyada and Yudi Rafael, the exhibition focuses on the career and work of Chen Kong Fang, a Chinese man who built his life in Brazil, developing his pictorial practice in the São Paulo art scene for around five decades. The exhibition, the artist’s first retrospective in a Brazilian institution, brings together a set of more than one hundred works, including oil paintings and sumi-ês produced between the end of the 1940s and the beginning of the last decade.
The Asian Diasporas program also features another solo exhibition by the artist Hee Sub Ahn (Seoul, South Korea, 1940) and a third collective exhibition, with works by Japanese-Brazilian ceramicists. The program also includes meetings, workshops and experiences related to the three exhibitions.
