“This is part of our ongoing efforts to support the new generation of budding artists in Shanghai, as well as to lend a helping hand to those in need in the true spirit of Christmas,” said Gerhard R. Fasching, General Manager, Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park.
The contributing artists, Pan Minyi, Zhao Ling and Gao Yiyuan come from different backgrounds and art movements, spanning traditional Chinese painting to modern and contemporary styles. They were commissioned by Mr. Dai Zhikang, the owner of the hotel and the ‘Zendai Museum of Modern Art’ in Shanghai, who is also a passionate art collector. Mr. Zhikang’s taste for art is reflected in the design of the hotel, which incorporates minimalist-chic with bold colours, clean lines and a unique collection of modern artwork.
