Golden Wisdom Series, by En Iwamura
Next up is the Golden Wisdom series. Not only stunning, but these are also contemporary interpretations of The Three Wise Monkeys where one doesn’t speak, another doesn’t see and the last one doesn’t listen. Made specifically for the “All That’s Gold Does Glitter – An Exhibition Of Glamorous Ceramics” exhibition, these pieces are strongly inspired by the old Analects of Confucius philosophy: ‘Look not at what is contrary to propriety; listen not to what is contrary to propriety; speak not what is contrary to propriety; make no movement which is contrary to propriety’. Because Iwamura values wisdom above all, it would only be logical the artist’s creation would reflect precisely that.
