The “Robert Zhao Renhui: Looking for Wilderness” exhibition opened at the commercial plaza of Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre on Sept 8, and will last till Oct 7.

Robert Zhao Renhui is an international multi-award winning and multi-disciplinary Singapore artist. In his art, the artist addresses environment, human’s relationship with nature, and associated issues of morality and ethics.

The exhibition is composed of thirteen screens, including 12 facing the front and one on one side, on the walls covered with green wall paper bearing the pictures of a village, ponds and animals. The screens show pictures that the artist took in an abandoned village in Suzhou and then ingeniously arranged to depict the relations between cities and nature.

The artist participated in the discussion after the opening ceremony to share his views on the use of different methods to increase the public’s attention to issues in natural environment.
