Beijing Exhibition | When Nanchizi Art Museum Meets Cyberpunk~🦋

💚Early summer is showing its signs, with lush greenery all around. When Suzhou gardens meet cyberpunk, when jade buildings meet metal sculptures, it's a collision between ancient and modern, as well as a fusion of Chinese and Western styles. The marvel of craftsmanship unfolds in this misty and enchanting pool, slowly coming into view. Under the sunlight, the sculptures shine brightly, glittering and splendid.✨

🩷This is the 'Heavenly Craftsmanship Enlightenment - Xia Hang Sculpture Exhibition' held at the Nanchizi Art Museum, featuring 26 sets of 101 pieces by teacher Xia Hang. The metal sculptures are cleverly displayed in the beautiful Chinese gardens, blending modern industrial beauty into Eastern aesthetics. Amidst the collision of wood and metal, one can perceive the endless creativity of 'Heavenly Craftsmanship', paying tribute to Song Dynasty aesthetics with contemporary art.🍃

❤️'Heavenly Craftsmanship' is an ancient encyclopedia-style work compiled by the late Ming Dynasty scientist Song Yingxing, known as the 'Encyclopedia of Crafts of 17th Century China' by foreign scholars. It holds high scientific value. The term 'Heavenly Craftsmanship' comes from the 'Book of Documents', and 'Opening up the World' from the 'I Ching', meaning to utilize nature, through human intelligence and skill, to develop everything in the world, also reflecting the harmony between humans and nature.🌿

🩵The exhibition is divided into three parts, 1️⃣ the first floor of the pavilion houses the main exhibits, each piece is very unique, with its own style; 2️⃣ the second floor of the pavilion has smaller and more exquisite exhibits, and there is also an experience area for children to enjoy; 3️⃣ the courtyard pool has a mist spray every 30 minutes, where you can sit quietly in the corridor and enjoy this dreamlike paradise.🌟 The overall works, through clever integration with the environment, express the traditional cultural thought of 'Heavenly Craftsmanship'. The choice of Nanchizi Art Museum as the exhibition venue is also very ingenious, kudos to the curator!💕

💜Favorite works:
▫️'Above the Clouds': In the ancient courtyard, cranes stand in the pool and on the rooftops, with rows of pavilions looming in the mist, recreating the 'Auspicious Cranes' by Emperor Huizong of Song.
▫️'Enchanted Fragrance': Silver and red wings intertwine, creating a strong visual impact, as if a surge of vitality is pulsing, adding a touch of life to the cold steel material.
▫️'Singularity': More abstract than the previous two sets, it allows the audience to experience order in chaos and feel the infinite within a finite space.
