More about this artwork

The artwork titled "Examples of Chinese Ornament, Pl.27" by Owen Jones, created in 1867, showcases the intricate and vibrant nature of Chinese ornamental design. This painting features a collection of motifs that vividly illustrate the finesse and complexity of traditional Chinese patterns. The upper section of the painting displays a large, symmetrical design resembling an arch with swirling floral and vegetal motifs in hues of green, red, and blue, centered around a stylized floral emblem. This creates a stunning visual anchor that draws the eye and elegantly frames the artwork.Below this, the composition includes three separate panels, each richly adorned with similar floral and organic forms and mythical creatures, perhaps dragons or phoenixes, known for their significance in Chinese culture as symbols of power, strength, and good fortune. These panels also incorporate geometric borders, adding a structured contrast to the otherwise fluid and dynamic curvilinear forms.The lower section extends the theme with a broad horizontal band that reiterates the floral patterns seen above, centered around a large, elaborate blossom that sugests unity and the interconnectedness of nature in Chinese symbolism. The color palette remains consistent throughout, with vivid blues, greens, and reds set against muted backgrounds to emphasize the details and craftsmanship of each design element.

Owen Jones was an English-born Welsh architect. A versatile architect and designer, he was also one of the most influential design theorists of the nineteenth century.
