Historically oxen were capable farming tools in agricultural society, symbols of diligence, persistence and honesty. In some cultures oxen represent the harvest. Without the strength of the ox, there would be no harvest. In Chinese culture, oxen signify wealth, confidence, power, stability, fertility, determination, prosperity and stubbornness. A number of ancient Chinese ethnic minority groups use the ox as their totem. Definitely, ox can bring great fortune to one’s life. |

This past autumn QX Wang, a philosopher and an inspiring artist, was featured at a solo exhibition ‘Beyond the Image’ at Stride Arts gallery. In this exhibit, more than 20 powerful pieces from Wang’s ‘Ox Story Series’ were shown. Wang utilizes a variety of artistic styles and media. In a recent interview with Art in America, Wang said that he was always amazed by the spirit of the ox, even as a child. Indeed, in some of his work, Wang’s images of oxen emerge as if rendered by a child but nonetheless reflect the rich cultural significance of the ox. To see more of QX Wang’s work and about this exhibit please go to stridearts.com. |
