Shannxi Province is, the origin of the entire Chinese culture. It’s capital city Xian, also known as Chang’an, the start of the old silk road, carries thousands of years of old history and culture.

The Terracotta Army is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor with the purpose of protecting the emperor in his afterlife. The terracotta figures are life-sized. Their faces, different for each individual figure, shows the greatness of the ancient sculpting technique. The Scroll art came from Ancient Egypt through the silk road. It’s popular around the Tang Dynasty, it represents flourish. It later becomes a commonly used visual symbol around the world.

The famous figure from the Tang Dynasty is Princess Yang Guifei, the emperor’s favorite queen. The emperor planted pomegranate for her to represent ruby. Hence the Lingtong area is now known for the growth of pomegranates.

2019, While working with Chicony Plaza, Xian, belongs to the Clevo Group. This Taiwanese artist Florence Lo took her time to walk around the city and created a line of work combining local culture with her symbol “ camellia”. With her unique interpretation, she was able to create some new icons for this 3000+ year old city. She continues to touch people’s hearts by integrating culture, art, and products.

「陝西」歷史源遠流長燦爛的文化中,古稱「長安」的西安, 是一個記載千年歷史與文化的古都,更是貫穿東西貿易「絲綢之路」的起點。

千古傳奇的「兵馬俑」為秦朝秦始皇大型軍陣陪葬皇陵,是沉睡了兩千年的「世界八大奇蹟」。兵馬俑的雕像傳神細緻所以展現古代雕塑藝術史的燦爛。由於「絲路」帶動了東西交流的風華,起源於古埃及的「唐草紋」在中國的盛唐時期廣泛流行,由於唐草有「蔓生」之意,人們寄予它茂盛綿延的吉祥寓意,後來演變成世界性共通的視覺流行符號。

「唐朝盛世」的浪漫代表人物非「楊貴妃」這位豐腴美女莫屬,身為唐明皇寵愛的才女,皇帝為投其所好在華清池廣植「紅石榴」,所以才為現在我們看到成為臨潼當地著名產業的印象,而石榴有「紅寶石」之美名,對於女性保健有相當的助益。

台灣藝術家羅方君(羅羅)2019冬天在和藍天集團的「西安群光商城」大展合作之際,延續城市踏查的精神,也特別透過藝術為陝西創作融入其品牌獨立象徵的「茶花」,以她獨特的詮釋方式重新揉捻這三千年古都歷史創造出更具溫度的藝術。 羅羅,是一個讓文化、藝術與產品變成讓人感動的繪本故事藝術家。
