About Taoxichuan Svitková ilustrace

Taoxichuan je svitková ilustrace vytvořená pro čtvrť keramické kultury v Ťing-te-čenu. Ilustrace představuje 600 let historie porcelánu a vývoj čtvrti v jedné souvislé kompozici. Plošný malířský styl a jasné barvy vytvářejí fantazijní porcelánový les, v němž se prolínají rostliny, porcelán a postavy. Podél trasy se objevují tři originální postavy: Bůh pece, Bůh vína a Bůh moře. Vektorová grafika je rozvrstvena pro flexibilní ořez a připravena v barevných prostorech CMYK i RGB. Svitek zároveň funguje jako narativní mapa, která provází návštěvníky.
