SM City North EDSA proudly unveiled over 100 hand-painted lanterns by the notable Chan Lim Family of artists and students with their exhibition dubbed as "A New Light of Prosperity" which runs from January 24 to February 11, 2016 at The Atrium in The Block building.
Lanterns are known as traditional decoration for the Chinese arts & culture and are being widely used in important grand celebrations. The mall presents a beautiful collection and arrangement of hand-painted lanterns to kick off the Chinese New Year festivity.
Bloggers were treated to have a taste of basic Chinese painting. I'm an abstract artist and a calligrapher (Western and Chinese) myself but this is the first time I've experienced how to do Chinese painting. I had so much fun but time wasn't enough to really practice the brush strokes that this art requires.
SM City North EDSA's Chinese New Year celebration continues with other exciting activities such as Chinese musical performances, oriental market, astrological readings and dragon dance.
