The Design

About Kanji Posters Plakatid

Kanji kujundid ja jooned esindavad ümbruse algseisundit ja lõpmatut olemasolu. Hiina kalligraafia pintslitõmmetest, kontekstuaalsete ideede uurimisest, stiilide segunemisest ja kultuurilisest tähelepanust inspireerituna näitab tõmmetega antud kujundite vahele jäävate ruumide kaasav mentaliteet hiina kalligraafia peent elegantsi ja luksuslikke kultuurilisi mõjusid. Iga plakat on valmistatud traditsioonilise hiina elemendi kombinatsioonist, mis ühendab kõik inspiratsiooniallikad ja loob ainulaadse, õrna Hiina impressionismi stiili.
