Dragon of the Earth Varox This work is my interpretation of a fantastical creature. I aimed to convey the grandeur and power of the dragon, focusing on the intricate details of its texture, color accents, and a pose that reflects its dynamism and monumental presence.

Dragon in art meaning In some cultures, the dragon has been appropriated as the symbol of power par excellence, as with the Chinese dragon, which is associated with the Chinese Emperor. In Islamic art too, the dragon often appears in princely and heroic settings. https://lnkd.in/ddz7ZqDS.

Isaac Chong Wai's Falling Reversely, a performance piece and video installations combo, is part of Strangers Everywhere, the main thematic exhibition at Venice Biennale 2024. Chong has been exploring the act of falling as a performance trope for a long time, and his Venice Biennale project is premised on the rise of 'Asian hate' soon after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the piece emerged as a result of a series of painful real-life experiences, the artist doesn't fail to highlight the fact that on certain levels, violence issuing out of racial prejudice is utterly ridiculous. My article also includes a focus on Man Fung-yi's video installation, Microcosmic Landscape, showing at a European Cultural Centre-hosted exhibition at the Biennale. Borrowing from a Taoist practice, Man drew circles every day all through an entire year, during the height of the pandemic, only to burn them all and have the ashes framed. Videos documenting the creation and destruction of her works are said to have a therapeutic effect on the viewer, if not inspire them to let past achievements go up in smoke and start again from point 0. #venicebiennale #strangerseverywhere #IsaacChong #fallingreversely #blindspotgallery #alisanfinearts #manfungyi #microcosmiclandscape #taoism #drawingcircles https://lnkd.in/gmTeFw8n

In this collective section you can also find one of my photos, taken at the Quercia delle Streghe in Capannori, near Lucca. Images of various artists are intertwined, each bringing their own perspective on the theme of transition. These visual narratives, together, offer a reflection on the ephemeral but intense moments that shape our lives and our universe. *The Witches' Oak, an ancient specimen of Quercus pubescens planted around 600 years ago, symbolizes perpetual transformation. According to legend, the horizontal expansion of its canopy is due to the sabbaths and arcane rituals performed by witches on its branches. With its twisted branches and majestic canopy, the oak represents the boundary between the visible and the invisible, between the natural and the supernatural, embodying the mystery of life in constant flux. This tree, marked by events such as World War II and a lightning strike in the 1960s, is a symbol of resilience, despite recent damage caused by tourists and infestations. In a world of constant and rapid transformation, The Witches' Oak reminds us of the power of slow and enduring change that only nature can achieve. https://lnkd.in/edpDUkJc
