It is a series of 7 pieces. They are drawings with permanent markers in plastic bags reused with the patchwork technique.<\/em><\/p>\n These plastic bags were delivered to us and to the artist community in the residence with each purchase we made in the fruit and vegetable markets, supermarkets, Dao bao, etc. We collected them during our stay in Shanghai and finally reused them as a support for our drawings.<\/em><\/p>\n The idea of \u200b\u200breusing plastic bags where the marks are printed in Chinese characters allows the reconstruction of the contemporary landscape of this great city. Chinese viewers can read and reconstruct in each of the bags that we use the landscape of our daily life there.<\/em><\/p>\n It was a great challenge for us because our first idea was to paint, create color with successive overlays and colored plastic transparencies. These materials are not friendly at all, thus achieving a plastic job that alludes to painting and drawing.<\/em><\/p>\n The drawings are part of an investigation of the representation of the landscape in classical Chinese painting that we did in the Shanghai Museum (dedicated to ancient Chinese art) and in classical porcelain decoration; others of drawings and photos that we take in our walks visiting the porcelain production – workshops in Jingdezh\u00e9n.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.chiachiogiannone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Comrades-in-Shanghai-.-2.jpg\")
