CAI ZHISONG: TIMELESS HERITAGE (A SOLO EXHIBITION) 16 December 2011, 7 – 9pm | Ode To Art Marina Bay Sands

Ode to Art is pleased to announce that a selection of about 15-20 works by internationally-acclaimed artist Cai Zhisong will be presented at Ode To Art Marina Bay Sands in a solo-exhibition entitled: Timeless Heritage. It will commence from December 16, 2011 from 7pm. The artist himself will be present for any questions or discussion about his work.

A sculpture artist whose powerful work has gained him international recognition, Cai Zhisong, born in 1972 and a graduate of Beijing's Central Academy of Fine Art, was the first Chinese artist to win the prestigious Taylor prize at the 2001 Paris Autumn Salon in Eiffel-Branly, at the age of 29. More recently, he is one of the five artists elected to attend Venice Biennale 2011 for the Chinese Pavilion. Cai Zhisong's most recent creation entitled “Cloud” will be on display in this art festival; displayed at the entrance of the Chinese Pavilion, it automatically rise and falls according to temperatures and other weather variations.

Cai Zhisong's most recent series of sculptures which will be exhibited – "Motherland" – not only shows his fascination with ancient Chinese culture but also addresses the dangers and consequences of cultural erosion in the face of today's increasing Globalization. In 2004, Ode to Motherland No.4 won the bronze prize at the 10^th National Art Exhibition at the National Gallery of Fine Arts, Beijing, China. This exhibition will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue produced by Ode To Art Contemporary.
