Circus Maximus at Soka Art Center Beijing is the first large scale exhibition Hsi has held in Beijing. It is a bold and magnificent display of works created by a young, up-and-coming Taiwanese sculptor. Drawing from his architectural training, Hsi created a perfect interpretation of the ruins of the Roman Colosseum.

Mao Xuihui believes that art can help us more clearly understand nature and human will, he illustrates both life and nature. Painting guaranteed that he would have the power to face the profound memories that life throws at him, and have the power to strive in expressing them – strive, because all this is not easy.

One must create works in the state of insecurity, to paint paintings, experience, and create new experiences as to express the things that life has given him into a powerful painting.”
