With Art Basel just around the corner, Shanghai Tang has collaborated with artist Long Di to launch a limited-edition art collection called "Rui Rabbit Spring", available exclusively at Shanghai Tang online and in-store. In Chinese culture, the rabbit is often referred to as a spirit that represents prosperity and good fortune. Long Di takes inspiration from this traditional mythology and creates illustrations that portray the rabbit's auspicious symbolism in a contemporary style.
In the three limited-edition prints of the paintings, the white rabbit embraces a pink peach to signify long life and good health, the gold rabbit embraces a gold dollar to signify wealth and prosperity, and the pink rabbit transforms into countless hearts to convey that love is abundant. The postcard accompanying the print depicts a woman in and three rabbits in harmony, a symbol of fertility. These works combine the auspicious symbolism of ancient Chinese culture with a sense of humour in contemporary painting.
The bags, bone china tableware and scented candles are practical with a strong artistic touch; in line with Shanghai Tang's long-standing brand DNA of integrating art into the brand.
