To welcome 2018 in style, Singapore's Lotus on Water in collaboration with UOB and the Emporium present "The Colours Of Prosperity And Elegance: The Feng Shui Art Of Emeritus Master Yun And Lotus On Water", a feng shui-themed art exhibition showcasing 108 pieces of paintings and sculptures worth 1 billion baht.
Master Yun Long Zi.
The exhibition will take place at the Emporium Gallery, M floor of The Emporium shopping centre, Sukhumvit Road, from Thursday to Sunday. The opening ceremony, set for Thursday at 6pm, will be graced by HRH Prince Tesso Sisowath of Cambodia.
Curated especially for Thailand by master Yun Long Zi, founder of Lotus on Water, Singapore's leading feng shui brand, the exhibition includes his unique collection of paintings that glow in the dark under UV lighting through phosphorescent paint.
Each painting is rendered in precious materials such as 18kt and 24kt pure gold and silver. Some of them feature up to 18 layers of nuanced and expressive artistry, bringing boundless colour and joy to viewers. According to master Yun, the special paint is incorporated in his works to symbolise hope in darkness -- a silver lining even amidst the darkest clouds.
The subjects chosen also represent good fortune and luck: peacocks, cranes, mountains and lotuses. For the Chinese, peacocks symbolise prosperity and represent elegance and glory, an ideal for feng shui paintings.
While some of his paintings are on Chinese rice paper, many in this exhibition are on a special paper known as dong ba, handmade by tribal shamans using herbs from mountain ranges. Dong ba paper is believed to be sacred and can last more than 1,000 years.
The 45-year-old Yun Long Zi is a sixth-generation feng shui master in his family.
He founded Lotus on Water in 2006, specialising in decorative pieces handcrafted from jadeite, sandalwood and agarwood.
