Duan Jianyu: Yúqiáo - Hardcover

by Jianyu Duan (Artist), Yan Du (Text by (Art/Photo Books)), Bang Wang (Text by (Art/Photo Books))

Translating traditional Chinese archetypes into an imaginary world, Duan's paintings revel in the quiet wisdom, humor and vitality in daily life

This oversized catalog features 20 new paintings by Duan Jianyu (born 1970) that reimagine yúqiáo--a classical Chinese motif of a fisherman and a woodcutter--into shapeshifting characters including goats, cows, a black cat detective and even the artist herself.
