Until 18th April, the Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias of Valencia is hosting the exhibition Galaxia Hung, a collection of fourteen large sculptures by the Taiwanese artist Hung Yi, inspired by Taiwanese culture and everyday life in Taiwan, but with clear influences from Spanish artists such as Miró, Picasso and Dalí.
The exhibition is made up of a collection of animals of striking and varied colours, and they are on display outside the City of Arts and Sciences, in the free access area. Ten of them are located in the Art Walkway of the Umbracle and the remaining four in the northern lake of the Hemisfèric. Hung Yi selects his materials and the form of his sculptures with rigorous attention to detail. His works are subjected to multiple processes, including welding, forging, polishing and enamelling, to ultimately create representations that are very familiar, but at the same time distorted to suggest forms and movements far removed from the real world.
