Curator's Eye
Dedicated to the study of traditional Chinese patterns, Lanyu Chen has undertaken significant research into the Miao people, a minority population in Southwest China known for their patternmaking and advancement of creative technological processes. Influenced by their distinctive motifs and use of symbolism, Chen presents here exquisite original indigo batik textiles and brightly coloured folkloric paintings that explore how geometry is rooted in the aesthetics of the natural world.
