Ancient Chinese legends of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) refer to the beginning of the "Three Perfections" - when
Poets, calligraphers and painters combined their talents to produce collaborative works of art. During the Song Dynasty (
960-1279) Visual art flourished, and with the approval of the Queen, a class of scholarly artists was created. Thus, in traditional China,
Educators were achieved in the "three perfections," which matched each other: calligraphic brushstrokes were incorporated into paintings, paintings
Were considered "silent poetry", and the songs "painting with sound".
The exhibition "Like a Sperm" brings together traditional Chinese art and contemporary issues. The work combines calligraphy, poetry
And digital drawing, and these art forms are reinterpreted through a global lens. Chinese calligraphy is made using
Brush strokes of ink on rice paper are then scanned into a digital medium. The traditional painting, accompanied by traditional poetry, has been replaced
By digital registration, and accompanied by symbols of man-made natural disasters. The "three perfections" conveyed by the yuan
Rabinowitz? Thus become a means of raising awareness of the destruction of nature caused as a result of human action on a level
Trans-national: Ocean oil spills, animal extinctions, deforestation and plastic pollution are visual warnings of the present
An ongoing threat to our environment.
? Similar to Shafririt? Exhibits three large-scale works by the Israeli artist Neta Rabinowitz ?, alongside a work
The calligraphy of traditional Chinese poetry of April Yuan. They offer an alternative route, bridging a local tradition
And global phenomena, emphasizing the space between the poetics of nature and current trends of global warming, pollution
And climate change. This reading and the emphasis on communication between man and nature helps to promote aesthetic awareness of nature. Considering
The way the songs relate to and respond to the drawings and calligraphy raises a broader discussion of dealing with disasters
Environmental and how art can respond to pressing contemporary issues. The songs serve as a character foil for the visual scenes
Of real threats, reminding the viewer of the possibility of a balanced existence between humanity and nature. For example, a plastic bag is shown
This is a story about the daughter of an emperor who drowned in the ocean and came back to life. Ji ngwei Tian Hai crumbles alongside the ancient legend of
Like a bird, and spent her time moving branches and rocks from the hill to the sea wishing to make the ocean disappear. While this story
Refers to the concept of perseverance as well as the interrelationships between man and nature, it is placed here next to a crumbling plastic bag. This combination
Disassembles the narrative and leaves the reflection on the plastic thrown into the sea.
Two enlarged descriptions of the red seal carvings produced by Yuan are used to verify the combined work of art
Chinese and Israeli and the balance between humanity and nature. Both images represent duality, the seal carving combines Chinese characters
And immersed and prominent Hebrews, a reference to the way in which complementary forces can be linked, as a concept of yin and yang. . The red seal
The second represents the word "Shafririt" in Chinese, taken from an ancient article: "I (a human being) like Shafririt in the universe;
Of the ocean. "
