Artwork description:
The fourth of nine dragons, clutching the moon pearl. From the most famous work of Chen Rong, the Nine Dragons scroll (1244). His work is considered a prime example of mid-thirteenth century painting.
The Chinese dragon (long 龍) plays a prominent role in Chinese history, a symbol strongly associated with ancient and modern Chinese spiritual and cultural identity.
While the dragon is feared in many Western cultures, it has traditionally been admired in Chinese culture by artists, writers, historians and philosophers alike as mythical creatures representing infinite power, supernatural ability and divine will.
Linoleum block, cut using flexcut carving tools, pressed on Blick baby press, hand chopped by the artist. Limited edition of 33. 10" x 7" - 2020
