Colour Endowment Peony
by 1839 Contemporary Gallery
Location: 1839 Contemporary Gallery
Artist(s): CHENG Chung-Ping
Date: 30 Mar - 12 May 2013

[Colour Endowment] is part of the six laws of Chinese painting “Categorical Colour Endowment”, introduced by Scholar Shieh-Huh during the Southern Chi Dynasty. It is to portray a variety of content by embracing them with colours. [Peony] represents wealth and elegance in Chinese culture; affluent families often would hang Chinese representational paintings of peonies in the hall to depict its well means of prosperity. Artist - Chung Ping CHENG chose to utilise peonies to express her affection and interest toward coloured photography by fashioning traditional film to capture peonies’ unlimited exquisite and poise postures, where photos were developed and enlarged in a darkroom.
