Artist Statement
The vase body is decorated with blue and white patterns of pine, crane and cloud, which imply longevity in traditional porcelain patterns, similar to the decorative ewer. By reshaping the traditional Chinese plum vase and laying it flat, Huanyi examines and deconstructs traditional culture in his work, exploring the discourse about the composition of porcelain.
我用“躺着的梅瓶”将中国传统梅瓶造型重新塑形平躺在基座上，尽管瓶身装饰还是传统陶瓷纹样中寓意长寿的松、鹤、云等青花纹饰，与这件充满装饰的壶相似，但原先饱满的笔直矗立的现代英雄主义形象很明显泄了气。我试图在作品中审视并解构中国传统文化，探索陶瓷背后的话语组成。
Selected Buddhist Object from Chiddingstone Castle
01.1533 Ewer
Ewer, cloisonné enamel on gilt bronze. China, Qing Dynasty (19th century).
Height: 27cm
Denys Eyre Bower mentions this enamel ewer, which forms part of a set with a bowl and cup, in his handwritten notes about the Buddhist collection. It was clearly one of his most prized possessions. His notes state that it was gifted by the ‘Tashi Lama of Tibet’ to the Viceroy of India, Lord Minto, in 1908. He wrote that ‘its importance seems to have been ignored by the British officials responsible for dealing with these gifts’. It is decorated in the eight Buddhist emblems including the ‘endless knot’, symbolizing the eternal wisdom and compassion of the Buddha. Also depicted on it is the wheel symbol which represents Buddhist teachings.
