Titled Parrot 4: Starry Sky xmm1, this porcelain piece was created by artist Duan Yijian in 2024, using underglaze cobalt blue on white porcelain. The brushwork is expressive and painterly, resembling the fluttering forms of parrots in motion. The strokes range from delicate to bold, evoking both the grace and liveliness of birds in flight. The blue tones vary in intensity, giving the piece a rhythmic visual texture. This work merges traditional blue-and-white porcelain with contemporary gestural abstraction, capturing a fleeting, dreamlike moment suspended in time.
