Dragon-themed artworks on show in Shanghai for Chinese New Year

The show also highlights the collaboration between tradition and modernity through the works of ceramist Li Jianshen. He has brought a set of nine dragons to the show, marking the first time his masterpieces have been exhibited in Shanghai. "The Chinese dragon is the only animal in the Chinese zodiac that doesn't exist in real life. Our culture created it. This gives us plenty of room for our imagination. I have given the concept of the zodiac Dragon a human state. In fact, I am still focusing on the presentation of people in our times," said Li.

AIGC, or artificial intelligence generated content, plays a crucial role in the "10,000 Dragons Art Exhibition." AIGC technology allows for the creation of diverse dragon artworks through artificial intelligence, providing a platform for young artists and AI creators to contribute their unique interpretations of dragon culture.

Over 10,000 AIGC dragon artworks have been collected from various artists for the show since January 1, with a curated selection of 1,000 pieces being showcased first. Each week, the organizers will update the show with new submissions. The public is still invited to submit new dragon artwork. The show will run until April 20, 2024.
