Cheers to the City of Many Cultures
The “Cheers, Macau!” project was inspired by the Macau Beer brand. It captures the essence of the diverse influences that have shaped this vibrant metropolis in southern China and combines them with elements of pop culture. The crumpled beer cans made of porcelain serve as a canvas for calligraphy and poetry, for lotus symbols and for Portuguese-tile patterns. Their realisation as a porcelain sculpture pays homage to the craft industry and unites traditional Chinese art with Western abstract art.

The wild cursive Chinese calligraphy represents the ideals of Chinese thinkers in Macau during the late Qing dynasty, just before the establishment of the Republic of China.

Cheers, Macau!
This beer can, shaped from white-and-blue Jingdezhen porcelain, reflects Macao’s fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. The wild calligraphy on the can is based on the theme of the lotus flower and is full of poetry, combining traditional Chinese art and abstract Western expressionism.
