About 24 Solar Terms And Gods Illustrationsserie
24 Solar Terms and Gods ist eine Illustrationsserie, die jeden der 24 chinesischen Jahreszeitenabschnitte mit einer traditionellen Gottheit verbindet. Die Arbeiten greifen mythologische Figuren aus altchinesischen Klassikern sowie Formen von Petroglyphen auf und setzen dabei auf feine Detailarbeit und eine rot-schwarze Farbpalette. Jede Illustration misst 594 mal 420 Millimeter und ist sowohl für den Druck als auch für die digitale Darstellung aufbereitet. Ein QR-Code in der unteren rechten Ecke jeder Illustration führt zu einer Website mit Erläuterungen zu den Jahreszeitenabschnitten, Geschichten über die Gottheiten und landwirtschaftlichem Wissen.
