CATALICIOUS

Delving into these complex questions are young artists of Asian descent like Catalina Cheng, Hannah Lim, and Joey Yu, who are exploring their heritage by creating contemporary art inspired by classic Chinese porcelain. Research shows porcelain was first created during the Tang dynasty, between 618–907 A.D., and the pieces most closely resembling today’s iconic versions emerged in the 13th and 14th centuries. Taking cues from the art form’s historical roots in visual metaphor and allegory, these modern interpretations of the centuries-old craft have unique meaning in themselves. Upon closer inspection, these vessels are colorfully imbued with sentimental facets depicting each artist’s own diasporic experience, existing as nods to their equally vibrant predecessors while also establishing a distinct footprint of their own.
