Located on the central axis of Qiandeng Lake in the South China Sea, TIC Art Center is a brand new art landmark created by Times China. As a diversified carrier of urban cultural exchange, the art center was put into use as early as July 2021, which not only has a clever shape design, but also provides a platform for the dissemination of regional culture.
At the event site, the "Times Impression Artists Alliance" was established, and the first batch of 1 art consultant and 3 artists were awarded special certificates, and then through multiple and multi-form literary and artistic exhibitions, the essence of Lingnan Guangfu culture will be presented, and the local culture of Foshan will be promoted and disseminated. "The location of the art center was originally an old factory building, and through upgrading and transformation, we will build it into an important urban node in the central axis of Qiandeng Lake, and in the future, we will strive to promote the high integration of cultural creativity in the South China Sea Industry City." Dai Zhixin, vice president of Times China Group, said.
The TIC Art Center presents the first exhibition of Pan Berlin's ceramic sculptures. It is reported that Pan Bolin is the leading figure of Shiwan pottery, the master of Chinese arts and crafts, and the master of Chinese ceramic art, who has been engaged in pottery creation for more than 50 years, and his ceramic sculpture works have swept the world, and in the 90s, they were exhibited in Britain, the United States and Japan. As one of the representatives of Foshan's intangible cultural heritage, Shiwan ceramic sculpture is an important symbol of Lingnan culture and Guangfu culture.
This exhibition is Pan Bolin's first large-scale exhibition of works in the South China Sea, and also the first exhibition of his "Impression of the Times" theme series, and the nearly 100 works on display on the spot embody the exquisite artistic skills of ceramic sculpture and highlight the artistic essence of Shiwan pottery and sculpture.

In order to tell the traditional cultural story and enhance the cultural taste of the city, TIC Art Center will continue to provide high-level cultural feasts for the public in diverse fields such as fine arts, music, film, drama and photography in the future, so that more people can participate in the inheritance of culture and art, and jointly promote the traditional local culture of Lingnan.
Chen Xinwen, director of the Foshan Municipal Bureau of Culture and Guangzhou, said that at present, Foshan is vigorously promoting the construction of a museum city, and a number of museums and art galleries should be built, and the TIC Art Center is one of the representatives. The exhibition of Foshan's intangible cultural heritage representative pottery sculptures has opened a window for the outside world and the public to understand Foshan's traditional culture, and hopes that Foshan, as a famous historical and cultural city, can glow with more new vitality and new brilliance.
