The Amagao Gallery launched on Friday its first exhibition of the year, entitled “GOOD TIME”, a vibrant showcase of creativity featuring 32 distinguished artists from 12 different countries and regions, comprising Brazil, China, France, Guinea-Bissau, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Italy, Macau, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe, Thailand and the United States.
The gallery is located at the lobby of Artyzen Grand Lapa Macau hotel in Cotai.
Drawing inspiration from a Southern Song Dynasty poem, GOOD TIME reflects a sense of serenity and gratitude for life’s seasons: “In spring there are all sorts of flowers, in autumn there is moon; summer has cool breezes, and snow in winter. When there is nothing to worry in mind, that is a good season in this human life”, according to a press release from Artyzen Grand Lapa Macau.
The exhibition invites visitors to slow down, appreciate the art, and find tranquillity in its diverse “garden” of creative expressions, the press release points out.
The collection features 38 pieces, spanning various mediums and styles, showcasing the profound human connection to art as a means of self-expression and fulfilment. The art pieces are available for sale.
The exhibition is open to the public until 17 March. For more information about the exhibition contact 6881 0170 or e-mail amagao@yahoo.com.
Meanwhile, Artyzen Grand Lapa Macau’s Cake Shop has introduced the “Recreation of The Macau Cake”, a collaboration between Amagao Gallery and the hotel’s Executive Pastry Chef Fredrick Sui.
At the heart of this specialty cake is an edible map of historical Macau, crafted entirely from white chocolate. This intricate art piece reimagines Macau’s charm in its early days, highlighting landmarks like the Border Gate, Penha Hill, and Guia Lighthouse. Chef Sui complements this artistic centrepiece with a bronze-golden cake, resembling a jewellery box, symbolizing wealth and prosperity in Eastern culture.
The cake’s rich flavours include crystal pear, Madagascar vanilla pod, Valrhona Jivara milk chocolate, candied chestnuts, and roasted hazelnut praline. Each bite delivers a delightful harmony of textures and tastes, celebrating the essence of East-meets-West.
The special cake is priced at MOP 288 nett for 1 pound and MOP 558 nett for 2 pounds. It is available for sale until 31 March. The cake shop is located on the 2nd floor. For more information contact 8793 3810.
