Dragon and Phoenix |
| An American sculptor of Chinese descent, I
have been inspired mostly by Asian art. My work has always been
figurative, focusing mainly on the elegant bearing and formal dress of
Asian women and children from the royal courts of the past. In recent
years, I have become even more fascinated with the art of ancient China
and Japan. _ -Scroll to the bottom of the page for the stories about each of the "Children of the Good Fortune"- |
For this show, I have sculpted figures, mostly children,
inspired by the imperial life of the Heian Period of Japan (794 - 1185)
and the Song Dynasty of China (960 - 1279). These periods overlap by 225
years allowing a direct comparison of the style and color of ancient
Chinese and Japanese dress during the same historical period. The name of this show is "Children of Good Fortune". Each child is either holding an auspicious object or carrying a symbol of good fortune on their clothing. -Vivian Wang 2013 |
