"Paris 2024 Olympic Games - Chinese Bi · Triumph Zun" skillfully integrates the most symbolic art forms and elements of France and China to recreate, using the minimalist vocabulary of blue and white and square and round forms to make a modern transformation of China's most world-recognizable traditional porcelain, implying the purity of the Olympic movement and the best wishes for world sports. It showcases the profound achievements of the two world-class artists in the exchange and integration of Eastern and Western cultures. This work not only embodies the Olympic spirit, but also plays an important role in the promotion of Olympic culture.
