The Collection: Twelve Blooms Design Concept: Sculpted freely out of liuli crystal, here is an art plate from a collection of twelve—one for each month of the year, each blooming with a flower of its respective season. Depicted here in vibrant reds and whites is the plum blossom, a flower known to bloom in the bleak midwinter of January. It does so amid ice and snow, stubbornly rising above the landscape. Because of this, the flower is regarded in Chinese literature as one of the "Four Gentlemen." Artists evoke that sense of harsh beauty in this glass piece, sacrificing little care to sculpt all the minute details of the picturesque season—the season of the plum blossom in January. 設計概念說明: 這是一個由琉璃水晶自由雕刻而成的藝術盤,共有12個,分別代表一年中的每個月,每一個都綻放著各自季節的花朵。這裡用鮮豔的紅色和白色描繪的是梅花,這種花在淒涼的1月中旬盛開。它在冰雪中盛開,頑強地聳立在風景之上。正因為如此,這種花在中國文學中被認為是 "四君子 "之一。藝術家們在這件琉璃作品中喚起了這種嚴酷的美感,他們不惜犧牲一點細心來雕刻這個風景如畫的季節--一月的梅花季節的所有微小細節。 |
