Yang Jiecang
August 15th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
This a limited edition by Chinese artist Yang Jiecang, published by the Ullens Center for Contemporary Art in 2008. It is hand-painted porcelain and produced as an edition of 250. The work references Yang’s ‘Underground Flowers’ project, an installation of 3,000 porcelain bone fragments housed in wooden shelves reminiscent of a Natural History Museum archive.
The series is a central example of Yang’s attempt to meld traditional Chinese artistic methods with foreign and / or contemporary forms (in this case the European Momento Mori, perhaps).
I really want one.
