Works are combined with the times and display Guangdong’s multicultural culture
Song Weiguang, a scholar of art historian and president of the Cultural Heritage Committee of the China Association for the Promotion of Cultural Industry, pointed out in an interview that before the 19th century, sculptures mainly focused on volume, and after the 20th century, the government focused on space and space construction, and the government helped to guide the construction of new space.
Song Weiguang believes that sculptures must also accept the evaluation of the environment and the people. Public art is not only an embodiment of the artist’s personal will, but only when the government, artists and the people work together to be born. A truly good art cannot make jokes. Artists should have the role of wisdom and guidance, and the government should have the role of decision-making.
