As the year ends and the clouds darken, a new cycle begins.
On the occasion of the 2024 Dragon Year Spring Festival and the 20th anniversary celebration of Shanghai Jiuguang Department Store, Shanghai Jiuguang collaborates with the well-known domestic young installation artist — Luo Ming, to bring a fantastical and rhythmically vibrant art "gift" to the locale.
The dragon, one of the traditional spiritual totems of the Chinese nation. What new visual forms can arise when traditional totems meet contemporary art? The "All Things Pursue the Light — Spirit Essence" art installation contemplates and initiates from this perspective. The installation, nearly three stories high, creates a dynamic of color transformation and non-traditional forms, soaring from the clouds into the air. It depicts a giant dragon ascending through the sea of clouds, moving between heaven and earth, its spirit shining in the light, bringing auspiciousness to all things. At the end of the year and the beginning of the new, it offers every viewer a grand artistic visual feast that transcends time and space.
