The works are inspired by the scenery around Nam Van Lake in various weather settings, from rain, to wind, to thunderstorms, and fog.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cLooking Through the Fog\u201d exhibition was launched on 30 June. It is the seventh exhibition held at the IFT Caf\u00e9 since the venue opened its doors in June 2016 \u2013 all exhibitions featured work by local artists.<\/p>\n<p>The IFT Caf\u00e9 is on the Nam Van Lake waterfront. It not only serves food and drink, but also provides training to IFT students. The outlet additionally operates as a venue to promote culture, and regularly hosts exhibitions featuring local artwork.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an obligation of IFT \u2013 as a member of the Committee of Cultural Industries \u2013 to promote to Macao residents the local cultural and creative industries,\u201d says IFT President Dr. Fanny Vong.<\/p>\n<p>The IFT Caf\u00e9 is part of an effort by the Macao SAR Government to revitalise the Nam Van Lake area and turn it into a new leisure and tourism hub. Other Government bodies involved in the overall revitalisation project for the area \u2013 a zone that has been named \u201cAnim\u2019Arte Nam Van\u201d \u2013 include: the Cultural Affairs Bureau; the Sports Bureau; and the Macao Government Tourism Office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Memories of Macao<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mr. Dores says that \u2013 after receiving the Institute\u2019s invitation to host a solo exhibition at the IFT Caf\u00e9 \u2013 he spent 9 months creating the works now on display. \u201cI had to go to Nam Van Lake [several times] to observe the environment and notice the changes in the weather, like the formation and dissipation of fog,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>The Macanese artist says the Nam Van Lake area embodies well the spirit of Macao. \u201cIf you are from Macao, you will recall the smell of mud and seawater,\u201d he says, noting it was once more common in the area. \u201cEven though the city has undergone drastic changes, this smell still persists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He adds: \u201cI hope that by creating these paintings, I can stir some memories in the minds of the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Dores holds a bachelor\u2019s degree in fine arts. He has been active in the local arts scene since 2002, and has taken part in numerous exhibitions and events showcasing local art.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Dores now has his own studio. One of its aims is to cultivate new local talent in the arts. Among his students is his cousin Filipe Dores, who has already had artworks featured in exhibitions in London, in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my goals is definitely to dedicate more time to training a new generation of artists,\u201d says the established artist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the past, it was quite lonely to be an artist in Macao, but that has changed with more people engaged in the local art industry,\u201d he says. \u201cAkin to the development of the Nam Van Lake area, the local art and cultural creative industries will only get better and better.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IFT Caf\u00e9 is hosting until 21 August a showcase of 15 new abstract oil paintings by Macanese artist Mr. Jos\u00e9 Dores.
