A Magical Dialogue Between Art and Time at The Bund

The Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund surprises again! Partnering with the "True Love" Summer Art Exhibition, it transforms the century-old Shanghai Club building into a wondrous space brimming with artistic flair and emotional warmth. Step into this exhibition to discover 28 meticulously crafted works by 18 artists displayed across the first and second floors. Abstract oil paintings burst with passionate colors like fiery romance, while installation art whispers tender affection through delicate strokes. Particularly breathtaking is the magnolia-themed painting—under the glow of century-old crystal chandeliers, the petals seem to come alive with mesmerizing beauty. Here, art and architecture merge perfectly. The black-and-white checkerboard marble floors and Ionic columns interplay with modern installations, creating striking aesthetic contrasts. Beside the spiral staircase, metal sculptures paired with vintage teak handrails reveal the multifaceted meaning of "True Love." Beneath the stained-glass dome, dappled light dances across artworks, as if history and the present are conversing across time. Located at No. 2 East Zhongshan Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai, the exhibition runs through August 30 with free admission and no reservation required. Just a 5-minute walk from East Nanjing Road Station (Metro Lines 2/10)—don’t miss this artistic feast!
