The subject of Bird-and-flower, or huaniao (花鸟), is one of the most classic genres in Chinese painting, established as early as the Han Dynasty. Throughout history, Chinese painters have used animals and plants as symbols for meaning and metaphors for their emotions. • Through this video, find out how painters reimagined the huaniao genre and used it cleverly to express themselves, rather than to mimic nature. • Artists featured in this video include dynastic Chinese painters Ren Bonian (Ren Yi), modern/contemporary Singaporean artists Chen Wen Hsi and Tay Bak Chiang. • More at Neptune Court Studio: https://www.neptunecourtstudio.com/ • * * • Editor's note: • Image caption correction for 2:36 Black Egrets by Chen Wen Hsi, Undated.
