plantica’s Invited Installation at “The Five Great Ukiyo-e Masters” Exhibition in Taipei

plantica was featured as a specially invited artist for the major ukiyo-e exhibition, “Edo Fuka – The Five Great Ukiyo-e Masters,” held at the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in Taipei from January 18th to April 19th, 2020. For this event, plantica created a large-scale installation for the venue’s entrance.

The artwork was a stunning reconstruction of two of Katsushika Hokusai’s most iconic masterpieces from his “Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji” series: “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” and “Fine Wind, Clear Morning.” The pieces were recreated using over 16,500 pressed flower petals.

This floral composition was then transferred onto four large gauze curtains, which were suspended in the air to create a “floating painting” effect. The impressive scale of the work (300cm high x 600cm wide) provided an immersive experience, making visitors feel as though they were witnessing the great ocean wave and the red-dusted Mt. Fuji firsthand.
