The second BFC Art Festival that will run through August will feature a range of cultural and arts programs.

The second BFC Art Festival kicked off at the Bund Finance Center and features a variety of cultural and artistic programs.

It will end on August 7th.

Contemporary French artist Bertrand Lavier brings his representatives of artworks to a grand art exhibition, his first in mainland China.

The 73-year-old actress rose to international fame at the 1976 Venice Biennale in Italy.

Lavier was able to transform images from contemporary mass culture into works of art. He tried to explore the contradictory relationship between fine art and its depiction, reality, and simulation.

Many of his innovative works blur the boundaries between painting and sculpture, showing a balance of compelling visual images and imaginative gestures.

The exhibition is on display until September 4th.

The outdoor plaza in the center’s north block is now a platform for displaying artwork from 20 or more local galleries. Guests can view amazing pottery and beautiful handicrafts, both traditional and modern, at Kyoto House until July 20.

The center hosts art bazaars over the weekend until July 24. The city’s art institutions will display their unique cultural objects and host interactive events. Descriptions of the Hans Christian Andersen Awards winners are also on display until July 31.

A dozen art installations are on display in the center’s public areas.
