I truly believe if you can’t find a stage to shine on, then you must create your own stage. We who work in the field of art are united by a strong sense of passion and perseverance. The return of the All Fresh group exhibition in 2023 after a three-year hiatus satisfies the shared expectation of outstanding Chinese artists living in Australia and is a great opportunity for art collectors to add to their collections. It is our hope that every visitor to our All Fresh 2023 exhibition will appreciate life and cherish every moment in all of its glory.
--WU Maggie, Director of Live In Art Gallery
After the global pandemic, All Fresh exhibition makes a triumphant return in 2023. Despite all of the hardships in the past three years, artists were given the rare opportunity of introspection and rejuvenation. Art has taught us resilience and hope, and I hope this exhibition will inspire and energise visitors. I am wishing the exhibition great success, and I am eager to share its vibrant and transformative impact with the world.
