Hi All

As mentioned in the Asia Regional Snuff Bottle Exhibition thread, here is one of the twelve bottles of the Famous European Musicians being exhibited at the event.

This bottle is a portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven. The work of the entire set is a collaboration of two young artists, the portrait by Dong Wen, the daughter of Dong Xue while the brief introduction on the other side of the bottle is by Dylan Hsu, a young artist from Taiwan and the last student directly taught by Wang Xisan.

Enjoy!


Richard

I saw this set on display at the Singapore exhibition. They are really good.

I didn't ask Richard for a price!

(PS They are Richard's bottles - he doesn't mention that!)

Nice collaboration between two wonderful artists.. Still very curious what Dylan is up to.. Have not seen any new works from him in several months.. Maybe even been a year now..

If I am ever able to have a bottle commissioned, it will be done by Dylan so long as he is still painting..

I've never been a fan of 'Haolis' in snuff bottles  Cheesy,  but the calligraphy is wonderful.
Where does Dylan Shu live and work? In PRC or in Taiwan? How does one contact him?
Best,
Joey

He lives in Taiwan.. I drop him a line through Facebook from time to time..  A few months ago he replied asking for painting/themes suggestions.. Which sort of surprised me as he is so creative.

Last time I inquired was about a month ago, but no reply back..

I do recall that when first talking with him he pointed me to his Father who apparently handles the sale of this bottles.. But Dylan has not even added any new paintings to his Facebook photo album in a very long time..

Dear George,
   can you send me his or his father's email address via PM?
 I'm not on FB, in principle.
Thanks,
Joey

Hi All

If any of you wish to contact Dylan, you can go thru me as I am in direct contact with him.

I will be posting a calligraphy bottle done by him in a separate thread shortly.

Here is a short video introducing Dylan by a Taiwanese TV station.
