In this Lotus and Landscape series, we have the opportunity to focus on two of Fan Shao Hua’s most particular passions. These are subject matters that resonate with deeply held historical, artistic and philosophical traditions in China and the wider world. Fan Shao Hua openly acknowledges these connections, and takes viewers of these powerful themes further into his own particular vision of creativity, imagination, energy and the essential life force.
Experience the beauty of these two series from Fan Shao Hua’s 2015 collection to his most recent work at the exhibition.

In the Batik Introduction Handkerchief Painting workshop, participants will learn the traditional art of batik, a wax-resist dyeing technique originating from Indonesia. The workshop begins with a brief history and overview of batik, highlighting its cultural significance and various techniques. Participants will then observe a demonstration of applying wax with tjanting tools and dyeing the fabric. Following the demonstration, each participant will design and create their own batik handkerchief, applying wax to create patterns and then dyeing their fabric. The workshop concludes with a group discussion, allowing participants to share their creations and reflect on their learning experience.
