WORKS ELABORATION:
"Nine men and eighteen artisans" is a general term for Chinese folk craftsmen who make a living by their craft. They go from village to village and serve the villagers with their skills. The handicraft skills of these artists are closely related to people's life. They are not only Chinese folk artists, but also the accumulation of Thousands of years of Chinese culture. But with the passage of time, they also gradually disappeared from the public's view. I used the long volume of illustrations of "Artisan Community" to reproduce the scene of bustling and prosperous merchants in the old market. To understand, inherit that belongs to their spirit of ingenuity. The design paradigm with unique elements of folk art has played a very important role in promoting Chinese traditional folk art and expanding contemporary art forms.
