“Emotion Between Object and Self — The Luster of Time: Exhibition of Lacquerware, Cloisonné, and Xiangyunsha" will open at Rongbaozhai Guangzhou on October 12th. This exhibition features works from three craft categories: lacquerware, cloisonné, and Xiangyunsha. It aims to capture the eternal theme of "the luster of time" through the erosion and refinement of time. These materials and crafts interpret the close connection between art and time through their subtle material transformations.

Artworks are often regarded as objects of contemplation beyond daily life, yet the utensils, garments, and paintings in this exhibition quietly draw this contemplation back to the tangible realm of everyday existence. When the texture of lacquer becomes the annual rings of a vessel, when the transparency of cloisonné reflects the spectrum of dawn and dusk, and when the indigo spots of Xiangyunsha record the wearer's footsteps, the materials themselves become the scales for measuring time. Together, they reveal a metaphor: so-called "artistic living" is not about suspending beauty above life, but allowing time to manifest in matter, making each luster a touchable historical rhythm.

Between the city of Guangzhou and the sky, in the 'City in the Sky', Australian street art artist Brolga and French illustrator Clément Thoby are depicting its unique charm with a dynamic and static creative visual style.

Brolga combines dreamlike graffiti with a minimalist style, starting from an Australian road trip. The characters in her works have roamed corners of the world, sparking local fashion trends everywhere.

As the main visual artist for SKY PLAY City Sky Festival, Brolga has specially created 'Cloudodo' and 'Cloud Baby', bringing new stories of the journey with a unique artistic style.
