An artist whose images seem to dance

In his first museum appearance in China, Bozo's creation inspired by the Chinese classic animation The Monkey King: Havoc in Heaven is exhibited alongside nearly 20 pieces of the original draft of the animation.

Produced by Shanghai Animation Film Studio from 1961 to 1964, The Monkey King is one of the most influential works in the history of Chinese animation.

As part of the museum's collection, these original drafts are introduced to the public for the first time.

Personally, Bozo finds Chinese classic animations fascinating. He has previously watched some works, including Little Tadpoles Looking for Mom and The Monkey King, on TV. He's amazed by the images that absorbed traditional artistic expressions, such as folk art and opera facial makeup.

After seeing the original drafts, Bozo picked up the brush and painted the character in his imagination, an orange monkey with striking green eyebrows in the work The Jungle Party.
