Welcome to the Dior Talks podcast series dedicated to the 10th edition of Dior Lady Art, hosted by Paris-based journalist Katya Foreman. For this milestone edition, 10 international artists were invited to reinterpret the iconic Lady Dior handbag, transforming it into a one-of-a-kind artwork. In this episode, we meet Beijing-based abstract artist Ju Ting, originally from Shandong Province. Celebrated for her fusion of painting and sculpture, Ju transforms thick layers of acrylic paint into sculptural surfaces — folded, carved, and fractured to reveal dazzling plays of texture, color, and depth. Drawing on the language of printmaking, the artist blurs the boundaries between mediums, with ruptures and cracks that symbolically echo the cuts and wounds of life itself. For her Dior Lady Art collaboration, Ju drew inspiration from her Amber Series, a body of work meditating on uncertainty, fragility, and the eternity hidden within fleeting moments. She translated this vision into two reinventions of the Lady Dior: a medium-sized version in calfskin, sculpted with folds, layered textures, and a gleaming metal handle, its undulating panels evoking kinetic art and creating optical illusions that shift with each movement; and a miniature version, alive with high-frequency stripes and embroidered glass tubes that echo the vibrant, rhythmic surfaces of her paintings. Illuminated by bright tones, mirror-effect linings, and balloon-like charms, both designs imbue the Lady Dior with motion and playful contrast, bridging fragility and strength, tradition and innovation, art and fashion. Download the episode to step into Ju Ting’s world and discover her bold reinterpretation for Dior Lady Art #10.  Hosted on Ausha.
