ARTIST: Wenqi Ma

These works draw inspiration from the fusion of traditional Chinese "Eight Treasures" patterns and the concept of the Eight Trigrams. They aim to explore the symbiotic relationship between humanity and the universe.

In Chinese culture, the Eight Trigrams(八卦图)represent the dualities of heaven and earth, the formation of the four symbols, and the arrangement of the eight trigrams, symbolizing the material world and the laws of nature. The central elements in the painting are inspired by the traditional Chinese "Eight Treasures" pattern(八宝图), symbolizing the close connection between humans and their creations.

Through "Eightfold Door," the artist invites viewers on a speculative journey to explore the intricate and profound relationship between humanity and nature, material and spirit. These works reveal deep cultural insights and the boundless possibilities of art, offering viewers unique insights and inspirations.
