Bowl of Tapei by Yang Yongliang

Yang Yongliang created A Bowl of Taipei, in which he blends layers of photography into surreal compositions. Through digital manipulation, the artist built stunning landscapes in which, when viewed closely, the modern world of Taipei is revealed. Yongliang juxtaposes this contemporary life by setting it within bowls that are considered some of the earliest known Chinese Jingdezhen porcelain. The series visually represents the past, the present, and the future of Chinese art and there is a calm and serene beauty within each landscape as waterfalls cascade down mountains, clouds fill the sky overhead, and buildings illuminate as nighttime falls.
