The Guest By Kzeng Jiang - Big

This version of The Guest is signed by Kzeng Jiang, the first artist of Chinese origin to join the creative universe of this iconic character. A Shanghai-based artist, his work captures contemporary Eastern culture through vibrant and radical illustrations. Kzeng seeks to capture his cultural roots through the symbolism of traditions such as Chinese face painting or the flowers of the Song dynasty. Elements that he reinterprets under his personal name and that in this case are represented, for example, with three large eyes on the face that, according to the author, allow him to see past, present and future, as if he were a messenger traveling through time. On a chromatic level, Kzeng uses blues on white porcelain to achieve visual harmony and balance. Colors that he combines with strokes of golden luster to create that feeling of prestige that was so typical of ancient Chinese porcelain. The result is a creation that conveys the elegance that porcelain provides and is an example of the most conceptual and contemporary design.
