Its traditional bamboo structures have been exhibited all throughout Impromptu’s time, and they make a huge impact on the art consumers of today. For example, its Model for the Impossible Black Tulip is made from bent bamboo splints to create an unbelievable flower shape that can be beautifully observed from every angle. This thought-provoking, complex shape is awe inspiring and reflective of the delicate nature of humankind. Meanwhile, one of their unique curatorial projects comprises an expressive graffiti in Taipa Village is bold and striking to the eye. By decorating areas such as these, it is breathing life into the surroundings. Next to a slightly overgrown, run-down area that isn’t much more than clumps of old buildings and pavement spewing weeds, Impromptu presents something that is bursting with life and renewed energy to remind us that not every run-down area needs to be abandoned completely and forgotten forever. For inventive, emotive pieces, Impromptu offers wild exhibitions, amazing graffiti pieces, and intricate publications that leave its viewers and readers feeling moved, amazed and inspired.
