Recently, the exhibition “The Art of Time: Embroidery Crossing Fashion” opened in the Fashion Museum. This exhibition was jointly planned by the China Silk Museum and the Master-Bo team led by Professor Wu Haiyan from the School of Design and Art of China Academy of Fine Arts. More than 70 well-known domestic fashion designers, famous embroiderers, cross-border artists and related institutions were invited, and 114 pieces/set of fashion embroidery works were exhibited.
Taking fashion as the main axis, the exhibition explains the way of embroidery in the current fashion context through five sections, such as “quiet spirit”, “lively color and fragrance”, “trendy coolism”, “colorful in local China” and “diversified future”.
Walking into the exhibition, you can feel the artistic beauty brought by silk embroidery.
The work “Free Travel” is inspired by “Free Travel”. The author uses the simplicity and beauty of embroidery to draw pictures, so that the objects of clouds, water, birds and animals in the image are integrated into a unified charm, and the graphics melt with each other, which is very eye-catching. Many viewers stood in front of this work, quietly enjoying and feeling the quiet power of silk thread.
The work Farewell My Concubine takes the film Farewell My Concubine as the creative source, borrows the expression form of western pop art, integrates the traditional culture of China and Peking Opera facial makeup art, and uses various embroidery techniques to explain and release artistic feelings with strong colors and blank artistic space, leaving the audience room for imagination.
In addition to traditional embroidery works, this exhibition also has a “diversified future” section to talk with the future. This section takes “scientific fashion” and “futuristic sense” as the key words, and expresses the diversified expression of embroidery innovation through installation art and multimedia.
This exhibition will last until April 10th, 2022. Friends who are interested in silk embroidery should not miss this silk feast.
