🔥Introduction (Background)
On the southern coast of China, where tides ebb and flow, Guangdong and Hong Kong are connected by more than geography—they share a deep cultural lineage. At this pivotal stage of development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Reform Mission—Guangdong Art Centennial Exhibition transcends geographical boundaries to make a grand debut at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Showcasing over 160 masterpieces, this art feast is both a heartfelt retrospective of a century of artistic reform in Guangdong and a new chapter in the shared cultural roots of Guangdong and Hong Kong and the artistic flourishing of the Greater Bay Area, written through the language of art.
"Although Zhou was an ancient state, it had a reform mission." A century ago, Guangdong art embraced the world with oceanic vision, standing at the forefront of the times. Today, in the grand narrative of the Greater Bay Area, Guangdong and Hong Kong sail together on the vessel of art toward a new sea of cultural integration. May this exhibition across mountains and seas become a window for the world to witness the modern transformation of Chinese civilization; a bridge connecting cultural identity between compatriots on both sides; and a call to action, inspiring a new generation of artists to carry forth the spirit of "Reform Mission", and write the artistic epic of our time on the fertile soil of the Greater Bay Area.
