Cultural China · Su-style Bonsai Masters Joint First Auction Works

  Su-style bonsai is one of the outstanding traditional arts of the Han ethnic group and a treasure of garden art. The bonsai art centered on Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, has a long history; it took shape in the Tang and Song dynasties, flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and thrives in the contemporary era. With its unique structural forms and artistic style, it is one of the main schools of Chinese bonsai.

  The compositional conception of Su-style bonsai is meticulous and subtle, taking nature as its model, blending with the natural, and rarely showing traces of carving, full of artistic charm. In handling relationships such as virtual and solid, curved and straight, sparse and dense, open and closed, and light and dark, the logic is clear and the craftsmanship is outstanding. With its rich flavor of life, it strongly moves people, often expressing a primitive and pure natural beauty, intending to call upon humanity to love nature and to strengthen humanity's awareness of protecting and respecting nature.
