The artworks will be displayed for six months at two locations, in Haikou's Evergreen Park and Mova Square . The vision for the exhibition is to bring the art of sculpture directly to the people of Haikou . This encounter with contemporary and international art within a public space will be a first for many in Hainan and HNA Group's support of the project reflects its long held commitment to giving back to the local community and furthering cultural dialogue between China and the West.

The British artists included in the exhibition represent the UK's important role in the history of sculpture. Pieces by Tony Cragg and by Anthony Gormley remember the period of 'New British Sculpture' beginning in the 1970s, which started a tradition of British sculpture breaking with the orthodoxies of conceptual art. Furthermore, the featuring of Sarah Lucas' sculptures reflects the influence of the 'Young British Artist' movement, while Jim Lambie of the Glasgow School of Art's spectacular sculpture 'Shaved Ice', composed of ladders filled with mirrors installed prominently on Mova Square shows clearly that British creativity is far from confined to London .

The Chinese artists are drawn from the country's burgeoning contemporary art scene. They use a modern style rooted in Chinese traditional elements such as Scholar's Rocks and bridges that feature in Chinese landscape painting.

HNA has a tenured commitment to supporting the arts. Examples of HNA's commitment to art include its management of the 300 year old Zhengyici Peking Opera Theatre, its long partnership with the National Centre for Performing Arts in Beijing and the organisation of multiple other art exhibitions worldwide.
