Sayyid Haitham bin Tariq Al Said, Minister of Heritage & Culture, formally inaugurated ‘Wan Xiang: Harmony and Nature’, the first solo exhibition in the Middle East of acclaimed Chinese artist Lou Zhenggang and the first exhibition to be hosted by The Royal Opera House Muscat. A statement collection exemplifying the highly original and distinctive style for which Lou Zhenggang is celebrated, ‘Wan Xiang’ expresses not only the infinite force of nature but also the spirit of contemporary China.

Displayed in renowned museums across the world and sought after by leading private collectors, Lou Zhenggang is an iconic figure in contemporary Chinese calligraphy and abstract painting as well as a dynamic force in the world of fine art.


A frequent creative collaborator with the United Nations, she is devoted to advancing international understanding of Chinese culture through her work. Over the last twenty years, this much-feted artist has staged more than 30 solo shows and five tour exhibitions in countries including China, Japan and the USA.


Lou Zhenggang is represented by ArtConn International, an independent artist management company that discovers, nurtures, and promotes artistic talent from China globally.


‘Wan Xiang: Harmony and Nature’ is now open to the general public and from December 6th until December 17th  from 8:30am to 2:30pm except for Fridays.
