More about this artwork

"Explore 'Examples of Chinese Ornament, Pl.23' from Owen Jones’s exquisite 1867 compendium. This particular plate splendidly showcases the classical elegance and vibrant essence of Chinese decorative arts. The upper portion of the plate features a circular motif pulsating with life and color - a mesmerizing medley of swirling patterns and mythical creatures entwined around a central flower, symbolizing beauty and harmony. The dominant presence of the dragon and phoenix suggests themes of power, good fortune, and the yin and yang balance, fundamental to Chinese philosophy.Beneath this, a broad band illustrates a harmonious repetition of floral designs, meticulously encased within geometric borders, resonating balance and precision in traditional design. The palette is a charming spectrum of greens, blues, reds, and whites, exemplifying the rich color symbolism in Chinese culture where colors hold significant meanings.

He helped pioneer modern colour theory, and his theories on flat patterning and ornament still resonate with contemporary designers today.
