Description:

A new interpretation to Bi Mo

In the world of Traditional Chinese Art, artists believe that copying isn't just acceptable, it's a necessity. From beginners to seasoned artists, mastering ancient techniques is like a replication game. This series of work takes two tales from two different dimensions and generations and weaves them into one, creating something entirely new.

The first story, "Admonitions of the Court Instructress," by Gu Kai Zhi, sheds light on the role of women in ancient times during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. The second story, "Lollipopland," is the product of a seven-year-old's imagination named Ip Tin Yee. By combining these two stories, the artist offers a fresh perspective on the role of women throughout history, and a new interpretation to bi mo, bringing a reformative energy to Traditional Gongbi techniques.
