Description
Art is always the muse of designers and a catalyst for design inspiration and creativity. Every art movement, as well as every avant-garde artist, awakens the restless heart of designers and guides them to reimagine the world.
In this issue, the BranD team invited four emerging Chinese artists: Yan Cong, who intends to shake the world of contemporary art; Xiang Yata, who creates a boundless universe through daily routine; Wang Mengsha, who overturns the impression of traditional Chinese ink and wash painting; and Lu Shan, who depicts a kaleidoscope of life with her overwhelming artist instinct.
Through the power of art, BranD hopes to release readers' imagination about the world and let the free spirit of art run through their soul.
Features four cover options in mixed cartons; orders will be selected at random.
