The new series of Dior Talks – hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman – is dedicated to the eagerly anticipated ninth edition of Dior Lady Art. Eleven global artists have been invited to transform the iconic Lady Dior handbag into a unique piece of art.Our latest guest, the celebrated Chinese artist Liang Yuanwei, takes the bag’s status as an emblem of artisanal craftsmanship with rich cultural connotations to new heights, interweaving references to her impasto “Golden Notes” series and Ru ware from the Song dynasty. Blending ancient and new techniques, her captivating Lady Dior resembles a porcelain object, with the artist’s textured brushstrokes evoking crackles in the glaze. Layered with symbolism, the bag’s edges in antique gold metal echo traditional gilding techniques, while its color recalls the signature celadon green shade of Ru ware.Its creation required a series of painstaking processes. The artist’s calligraphic brushstrokes, which differ in power and do not overlay the other, were reproduced in resin using a 3D printing process before being broken into pieces, like a puzzle, and then recomposed on a velvet base.Download the episode to learn more about the artist’s fascinating Dior Lady Art journey and how this experimental process, and collaborating with the House’s artisans, has impacted her creative approach.
