Love is found where business meets art
Art is a universal language, and each individual artwork can convey its own emotional message. Chongqing IFS, the new center stage for luxury, fashion and lifestyle in Chongqing, advances its philosophy of promoting art and culture by integrating and promoting business and art. On Aug 11, they invited Italian artist and architect Simone Carena, founder of MOTOElastico Studio; and artist Yihong Hsu, to create a new public installation artwork entitled LOVE. FOUND..
This visually stunning work is composed of camellias, the city flower of Chongqing, and a giant panda, China's national animal; the large camellia tree is symbolic of vitality, while the giant panda, China's friendship ambassador, holding the camellia flower represents the sharing of the beauty of Chongqing with the world, while encouraging people to seek happiness and share their love of life with others. It is also Carena's first work in China.
Christina Hau, general manager (operations) of Wharf China Estates Limited says: "The completion of LOVE. FOUND. is a new, successful milestone for Chongqing IFS in its ongoing mission to bring international artistic creations to the local market, and is a manifestation of the artistic dialogue between Chongqing and the world."
