Chongqing- "It is my responsibility as an artist to begin a thousand-year dialogue with Dazu Rock Carvings and revitalize ancient cultural symbols with contemporary art," said Liang Mingyu, chairman of Chongqing Fashion Designers Association.
When historic rock carvings meet contemporary art, what will happen?
The Dazu Rock Carvings is a beautiful Chinese-style "painting" on the cliff and a monument to the world's cave art. By recreating the cultural elements of Dazu Rock Carvings, Professor Liang Mingyu tries to transform exhibited rock carvings on cliffs into accessible and usable artworks that can be used in our daily lives. Consequently, more people can experience the charm of traditional aesthetics through Dazu Rock Carvings, especially the youth.
Recently, she held an exhibition called Dazu Rock Carvings Fashion Design and West Liang Art Exhibition. The artists use contemporary art language to bring new insight into Dazu Rock Carvings. Let's take a look together.
