Legendary Beast
Legendary Beast is a series of traditional style illustrations. Each image intertwines the eyes of two animals to express the opposition and coexistence of contrasting forces. The Chinese dragon and the tiger stand for the strong male side, while the phoenix and the crane stand for the gentle female side. Flowers and rocks add a decorative quality. The drawings are made with digital painting software and printed with high quality techniques on handmade paper, measuring 31 cm high and 45 cm wide. The form is based on the traditional Chinese folding fan, combined with modern methods.
