Mangafied Vases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Traditional Ming Meets Techno-Pop With 'Manga Ormolu'

— November 29, 2009 — Art & Design
These colorful mangafied vases are the result of a brilliant artistic fusion between traditional Chinese art and the ever popular manga-style techno-pop art. The contemporary creations by Kamloops, British Columbia-based ceramicist and artist Brendan Lee Satish Tang are known as Manga Ormolu.

Sharing a similar ideal as Brian Jungen's native art sculptures, the Manga Ormolu series combines culture rich artistry with modern pop to convey the artist's message.

Implications - The gorgeous vases would definitely be sure to liven up any mantel piece or desk. Brights colors are used to make the vases really standout. The manga part of the vase almost looks like some sort of robot hiding within the Chinese piece of decor.
Trend Themes
1. Artistic Fusion - Combining traditional Chinese art with contemporary manga-style techno-pop art opens up opportunities for unique artistic expressions.
2. Cultural Blend - Merging culture-rich artistry with modern pop aesthetics allows for the creation of visually striking and thought-provoking artworks.
3. Playful Integration - Incorporating manga and traditional Chinese decor creates a whimsical and vibrant visual narrative that appeals to a wide range of audiences.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Artists can explore the potential of blending traditional art forms with modern popular culture, leading to new creative possibilities in the art and design industry.
2. Home Decor - The integration of manga-inspired elements into traditional home decor presents an opportunity for manufacturers and retailers to cater to a younger, more eclectic consumer base.
3. Ceramics and Pottery - Ceramicists and potters can experiment with innovative techniques and styles to blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary pop art influences, opening up new markets and customer segments.
