Dance of the Cranes
The endangered Chinese, Japanese, Manchurian or Red-crowned cranes, well Grus Japonensis live in Azië.
In Japan there are no more than 600 left.
This work refers to a japanese folding screen and shows the fascinating dance of these birds during courtship, where sometimes more than two birds join the dance. The dance is performed perfectly down to the last detail in pure grace.
They know each other well; after all, they pair for life. The sound these bringers of wisdom, luck and a long life make, is incredible and carries a long way in the misty morning. There are few other spectacles that capture the imagination in nature more than this one.
The tradition of watercolor on paper in an art in itself in Japan, combined with these birds it is in the art culture interwined.
“Dance of the Cranes’ is one of my most personal paintings so far. Everything I stand for comes together in this one - the subject, subtleness and materials” - Renso Tamse
