Jie Qi's Dragon Art Project

[Calling Young Artists] Event Launch!

Hello everyone, I'm Leo (Xin Liu), a painter from PEI. As an artist, I consistently focus on creative expressions related to extreme weather, environmental issues, and multiculturalism. I successfully held "The Story of Fiona" exhibition in 2023, and now I'm excited to present the continuation and development of these themes through the "Jie Qi's Dragon" project.

About Jie Qi (Solar Terms):

Jie Qi, originating from ancient Chinese classical philosophy, divides the year into 24 "Solar Terms" to explore the wisdom of how humans can harmonize with nature, the environment, climate, animals, and themselves. This deep cultural tradition reflects reverence and respect for nature, holding significant relevance for addressing extreme weather and environmental issues.

Overview of "Jie Qi's Dragon":

This innovative art project combines 24 Solar Terms (24 paintings) to create the "Dragon of Solar Terms." The exhibition takes place during the Spring Festival and throughout the Year of the Dragon, blending traditional displays with interactive art.
