The Taipa Village Cultural Association will open a new exhibition, “The Flavors of Sichuan: A Tribute to the Art of Sichuan Cuisine”, on September 24 at the Taipa Village Art Space.
The exhibition showcases 34 photographs by American photographer David Hartung, who has lived and worked in Asia for most of his adult life.
David’s work has been featured in numerous prestigious international publications, including TIME magazine, The New York Times, Newsweek, Businessweek, Forbes, AsiaWeek, Travel & Leisure, DestinAsian, and Business Traveller.
The project began in 2019 and resumed in 2023 after a pandemic-related pause. Hartung made multiple trips to Chengdu and across the Sichuan region, documenting landscapes, rural communities, and everyday life.
His work explores Sichuan cuisine within its cultural, geographical, and historical settings, through both color and black-and-white images.
The exhibition coincides with the release of Hartung’s new coffee table book of the same title. The opening ceremony and reception will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Taipa Village Art Space.
