Joyful Boys Gallery
IntroductionThese Silk Paper cuttings are full of children. In Taoist literature, the child epitomizes the ideal innocence of the holy sage, absorbing all that he or she sees. The 'Dancing Boys' are child-like creatures full of sinuous anarchic energy that reaches every corner of their bodies. Veins, muscle and bone are hinted at - all beautifully patterned and flowing - pulsing with a vibrant energy as they experience the world around them.
