Artist's Concept:
“Frogtopia Arch” is a combination and mutation of drawing, Chinese ink painting, calligraphy and graffiti inspired by frogs. It conveys the theme of ‘Harmony and Happiness’ as a fusion of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as well as a mixture of traditional and contemporary art. When walking through and under the arches, the artist invites people to share happiness and openness. The stainless steel balls on the artwork symbolise the frog’s eyes, which gather positive energy for a happy new world. Frogtopia Arch is a vibrant, colourful and unique Frog King space.
