EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a replica of a fragment of a painted wall from Cave 15 of Bezeklik, Tourfan in China. Created by the Chinese School in the 12th century, this artwork is now housed at the National Museum of Korea in Seoul. The image depicts a Demiac monster, an imaginary character with striking features and intricate details. The monster's grimace reveals its fierce nature, while its arm holds an arrow-like weapon, adding to its menacing appearance. The artist's skillful brushstrokes bring out the vibrant colors and textures of this ancient painting. The necklace adorning the creature's neck adds an element of adornment and sophistication to its otherwise fearsome presence. This jewel serves as a reminder that even mythical beings can appreciate beauty and elegance. Dating back to the 10th-12th centuries, this artwork provides us with valuable insights into both Chinese and Korean history and culture. It represents not only artistic mastery but also reflects the exchange between these two neighboring nations during that time period. Leonard de Selva expertly captures every detail in his photograph, allowing viewers to appreciate this remarkable piece without having to travel all the way to Seoul. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness the creativity and imagination of ancient artists who brought such fantastical creatures to life on cave walls.
