The event is taking public art as a platform to promote the mutual prosperity of city and university and inject a new vitality into the cultural development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
The Public Art Season features three sculpture works donated by artists Li Xiangqun, Jing Yumin, and the duo of Li Chengjun and Liu Minghui.
These public art works were perfectly blended into the campus scenery, enriching the campus culture and showcasing the art-based education concept.
Wu Baoshui, deputy secretary of the CPC SZU Committee, noted that public art serves as a bridge for profound dialogue between the university and the city, as well as a poetic expression of a city’s spiritual character.
In recent years, SZU has achieved remarkable results in the field of public art. Wu hoped that SZU will take this Public Art Season as an opportunity to use art as the string and innovation as the song, advance together with the city, transform the fruitful outcomes into a powerful driving force for the university’s high - quality development, according to Wu.
Li Xiangqun explained that public art serves as the DNA of urban culture, acting as a medium to transform the academic wisdom of universities into a perceptible language for the city.
