The Eighth Cross-Straits Art Exchange opened in the Fujian Folk Art Museum on Aug 4. For the first time, wood carvings and classical furniture are on exhibition at the Cross-Straits Art Exchange. As many as 145 pieces of rare wooden artwork are on display.

The exchange has three special exhibitions: wood carving, the Four Treasures of Study and classical furniture. Among the 56 pieces of wood carvings are “Lin Zexu” by Lin Xueshan, “The White-Haired Lady” by She Guoping, and “Kwan-yin Viewing Lotus” by Li Fengrong. These three artists are great masters of the wood-carving craft.
