HIGHLIGHT

PRAY FOR GOOD FORTUNE

In contrast to today's fashion of slimness, plumpness used to be regarded as an ideal of feminine beauty in some periods of Chinese history, particularly in the Tang dynasty (618-907). Inspired by this, Chinese artist Huang Wei designed an image of a Chinese female with a fairly plump fi gure and a charmingly innocent look, who is devoutly praying with folded hands. The designer and her team have turned the portrait into figurines using materials like plaster, clay and cement, which are intended to be thought-provoking. The gesture of praying with clasped hands, a ritual of Buddhism, is intended to bring good luck and success. The works, given the name of Charm - Oriental Female, are to be exhibited in Hangzhou in March.

祈愿美好

不同于喜欢骨感美的现代人，东方女性在古代以雍容丰腴为美。中国艺术家黄薇设计的媚宝宝，是一个形态圆润的东方宝贝，小妞以虔诚之态双手合十，憨态可掬。设计者通过石膏、陶瓷、水泥、油泥等不同的材质，让媚宝宝给予大家更多的思考。双手合十这一姿态则寓意着吉祥与顺利，体现东方精神。媚·东方之妞将于3月在杭州展出。
