Artwork Overview
This work, “Old Shanghai in Line”, explores the visual identity of historic Shanghai through line-based illustration. It combines recognizable elements such as traditional clock towers and early modes of transportation that shaped the city over a century ago.
The use of clean, continuous lines creates a nostalgic atmosphere while maintaining clarity and structure. These linear forms emphasize architectural rhythm and urban movement, allowing viewers to perceive both detail and spatial depth within a simplified visual language.
This artwork reinterprets historical cityscapes through a contemporary perspective. Rather than simply depicting history, it creates a visual dialogue between memory and modern aesthetics, suggesting that urban identity continues to evolve while retaining traces of its cultural origins.
