CHU CHU (B. 1975)

The present lot is the outcome of many repeated processes. First, the artist photographs Hangzhou scenery and prints the image on photo paper. She then inscribes calligraphy on the printed image, and afterwards, she would scan, print and inscribe again with calligraphy in various colours. The result is a colourful layered effect like flowers blossoming in spring. The calligraphy is an extract from the poem She Walks in Beauty by Lord Bryon.
