Admission: Free

The University Museum and Art Gallery (UMAG) of the University of Hong Kong is honoured to present Pablo Picasso: Paintings in Glass, an unprecedented display of works by the world-famous twentieth-century painter, supported by the French May Arts Festival and Hongkong Land. In the mid-1950s, the workshops of Roger Malherbe-Navarre expanded on the light boxes of French painter Jean Crotti by layering pieces of glass into pictorial depictions (gemmail, French for ‘enamel gem’) of several of Picasso’s paintings.

Impressed by the gemmistes’ masterful assembling and fusing of carefully selected glass, Picasso declared ‘A new art is born!’ Made and exhibited to explore and display the medium’s artistic possibilities, the results are simply astonishing. The selection of works on loan from a private collection, and on view at UMAG, shed a new light on some of Picasso’s most renowned painterly compositions.

When all is said and done · Chinese Dream Series 01

In ancient Chinese legends dragon is a kind of miraculous animal that can change forms at will, can make clouds and rain, and provides benefit to all things. It is a symbol of China. Chinese people take pride as "descendants of the dragon". It is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the head of the Four Spirits, and has awesome supernatural powers. The legends describes its ability to show or hide, to be thin or huge, to be short or long, to reach the sky at the vernal equinox, to dive into the abyss at the autumnal equinox, can bring wind and rain, and is eclectic. Therefore, in Chinese traditional culture, the dragon is a symbol of power, nobility, and honor, as well as a symbol of luck and success.
