【Soaring Dragon in the Sky】
The artist skillfully integrates elements of traditional paper crafting technique, paper art, and the Chinese dragon to create an artwork that embodies both traditional charm and a contemporary sensibility.
Employing traditional paper crafting techniques, the artist first constructs the skeletal framework using bamboo strips. Then, the form is shaped in the traditional manner using tissue paper and white glue. Finally, intricate details and embellishments are added to the soaring dragon through paper artistry.
This piece offers a fresh interpretation of the Chinese dragon, imbued with contemporary dynamism and vitality. In Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes power, wisdom, and auspiciousness, representing the spirit of Chinese civilization. Through modern design approaches, the artist masterfully marries the image of the dragon with the traditions of paper effigy making and paper art, resulting in a work that is deeply rooted in tradition while radiating a modern aesthetic.
