Spirit of Dragon and Horse

Wei Hong

Reconstruct the imagery of the Chinese characters Long Ma (Dragon and Horse) via handmade torn paper collage. The natural raw edges and creases recreate the bold, vigorous and vivid brush charm of Chinese calligraphy. Colored strips are laid out in spontaneous flow, echoing the unrestrained grandeur of the dragon and the galloping vitality of the horse. The bright hues collide against the deep black background, perfectly interpreting the core essence of the Dragon-Horse Spirit.
