Exhibition explores themes while trying to open doors for input from overseas
A Peruvian-born French citizen living in China, artist Martin Salazaar, has tapped into his multicultural background and merged the themes of real life and mythology to produce his latest collection of art. Salazaar's exhibition at the Xindongcheng Space for Contemporary Art, Randonnees aux mythes sublimes, opened last Saturday and displays, for the first time in public, six of his most recent works.
