NEW Online Zhao Dalu Exhibition: The Lives

The New Online Zhao Dalu Exhibition: The Lives was overwhelmingly well received when it was opened earlier this year in May. Sadly, the subsequent lockdown in greater Sydney cut public access to the exhibition short. To enable a wider audience to view this amazing artist’s great diversity of artworks in a more engaging and creative way, we are now launching the online audio-visual version which includes more artworks. This new version is accompanied by the original music of highly celebrated musicians Nicholas Ng and Julian Wong.
