Hanami, solo show Ciou

 

The literal meaning of Hanami is 'the art of watching flowers'.

The word Hanami in Japanese is composed by the kanji ‘flower’ and ‘see’, so it’s the art of contemplate flowers. The word refers in Japan to cherry blossoms and how to enjoy small things and nature during the spring. The Japanese people give a lot of importance to the ephemeral and to live every moment or season.

For the solo show 'Hanami', Ciou is inspired by the theme of the four seasons. Not only in the traditional sense, but also through the climatic disturbances; some days nowadays are totally strange with the experience of four seasons in one day.

The large, hyper-detailed drawings 'Guardian of the seasons' and 'Four seasons in one' show the urgency of climate change in a surrealistic and magical way. Ciou has chosen to work out the drawings in black and white, which gives a melancholic effect. These drawings are very impressive and incredibly imaginative.

Besides drawing and painting, Ciou spends many of her days practicing Hanami, the art of watching flowers through the seasons. You can see this already for a number of years in her work, in which she always manages to create a new, very intriguing world inspired by nature. This wonderful world is a beautiful surprising mix of existing - and fantasy flora and fauna. She is also inspired by the celebration of the circle of life.

A few years ago Ciou went through the experience 'Go for Hanami' or 'Sakura' in Tokyo. This magical encounter with the cherry blossoms will stay with her forever and continue to inspire her.

The painting 'First bloom meeting' is made with that special feeling of a great outdoor Sakura celebration, a sense of rebirth, a beautiful celebration of spring surrounded by the spirit of nature. This source of inspiration can also be seen in the paintings 'Think pink', 'Hanami fever' and 'Serpentina queen of the Sakura'.

Welcome!

Hanami, solo show Ciou 

 

De letterlijke betekenis van Hanami is ‘de kunst van het kijken naar bloemen’.
Het woord refereert echter niet naar alle bloemen, maar vooral naar de bekende Japanse kersenbloesems (sakura) die in de lente slechts twee weken lang in bloei staan. Daarnaast betekend het ook hoe je in de lente kunt genieten van kleine dingen en de natuur. De Japanners hechten veel belang aan het vergankelijke en leven elk moment of seizoen. Het beoefenen van Hanami stamt al uit de 8e eeuw, toen de pruimbloesems al hordes mensen naar de bloemen trok.

Voor de soloshow ‘Hanami’ is Ciou geïnspireerd door het thema van de vier seizoenen. Niet alleen in traditionele zin, maar ook door de klimatologische stoornissen; sommige dagen zijn tegenwoordig totaal vreemd met de beleving van vier seizoenen in één dag. 

De grote, hyper gedetailleerde tekeningen 'Guardian of the seasons' en 'Four seasons in one' tonen op surrealistische en magische wijze de urgentie van de klimaatveranderingen. Ciou heeft ervoor gekozen om de tekeningen in zwart wit uit te werken, dit geeft een melancholisch effect. Deze tekeningen zijn zeer indrukwekkend en ongelofelijk fantasierijk.

Ciou brengt naast het tekenen en schilderen veel van haar dagen door met Hanami Dit zie je al een aantal jaren terug in haar werk, waarin zij geïnspireerd op de natuur steeds een nieuwe, zeer intrigerende wereld weet te creëren. Deze wonderlijke wereld is een mooie verassende mix van bestaande - en fantasie flora en fauna. 

Een paar jaar geleden heeft Ciou de ervaring ‘Go for Hanami' oftewel ‘Sakura’ in Tokyo mee gemaakt. Deze magische ontmoeting met de kersenbloesems zal voor altijd bij haar blijven en haar blijven inspireren. 

Het schilderij ‘First bloom meeting' is gemaakt met dat speciale gevoel van een geweldig Sakura-feest in de buitenlucht, een gevoel van wedergeboorte, een prachtige viering van de lente omringd door de geest van de natuur. Deze inspiratiebron zie je ook terug in de schilderijen 'Think pink', 'Hanami fever' en 'Serpentina queen of the Sakura'. 

Welkom!
