Li Guanghui’s work “Color Flew” is about light and water and also color and art. It takes natural light and water as its subjects to display the unique charm of color and art. Water reflected under different illumination conditions, either in the form of water vapor or cloud is the art of natural symbiosis. Li’s work is an interpretation of color and art through various color combos and forms of expression. It creates a unique interior environment for different people and embodies their distinct characteristics and style. It maintains the woodcut graphics, yet presents colors in an exotic way distinct from woodcut and with a touch Gothic. It offers modern individuals a unique life style and attitude, rather than only creating a quite living space, so that the new generation has their own artistic style.

Instructor: Zhang Baohua
Jin Yiyi’s fish-themed work, “Ocean Travel” bedding sets, uses brilliant colors to express fish fantasies in the form of hand painting and presents elements such as fishes, hot air balloons, and sailing boats in an artistic way. It alludes to Zhuangzi’s quote “You are not a fish; how do you know what constitutes the joy of fishes?”. “The joy of fishes” denotes how freely fishes swim in the water, and is a metaphor for a carefree journey someone has in beautiful natural landscapes. If you will take a ocean travel of infinite possibilities and set yourself free in the “dream of fishes” and in a carefree and bubbly atmosphere.
