These glass horse sculptures, part of the Formation of Contemporary Chinese Liuli Art Language exhibition, are currently on display in Zibo, Shandong province. The exhibition runs through Aug 30.
"Each piece crystallizes her understanding of light, her sensitivity to color, and irreplaceable warmth toward the handmade," says Sun Yunyi, a local master in producing colored glass.
The exhibition presents nearly four decades of glass art created by Yang and her late husband Chang Yi, and explores how glass, once regarded as a traditional craft medium, has gradually transformed into a contemporary artistic language rich in philosophical depth and cultural significance.
