Inspired by the 21st hexagram of the I-Ching, "Shi He" (Biting Through), this masterful work explores the imposition of discipline, law, and the birth of societal order.
The term "Shi He" literally translates to the forceful biting together of the jaws. In this visceral composition, a flame-red tiger—the ultimate symbol of kingship and power in Chinese culture—pounces from the darkness to "bite through" and subdue a bolt of erratic lightning.
A key iconographic detail is the tiger's "Double Pupils" (Chong Tong), a historical mark of a legendary ruler or sage, representing extraordinary vision and divine authority. Liang Jiamin posits that for order to prevail over chaos, there must exist a force of immense magnitude. The lightning, representing raw and uncontrollable energy, is here conquered by the tiger’s jaw, signaling the moment where discipline tames volatility to create law.
The interplay of Gold Leaf, rich mineral pigments, and deep Sumi ink on traditional Kumohada-mashi paper creates a regal yet intimidating atmosphere. This piece is a profound meditation on the necessity of strength in the pursuit of justice and the enduring power of structured order.

While we strive for absolute color accuracy, slight visual variations may occur between the physical print and your screen. This is due to differing brightness, contrast, and color calibration settings across various devices.
Furthermore, the interior mockups on our website are for illustrative purposes only. A unique charm of original art and professional Giclée prints is how they interact with their environment; the artwork will shift beautifully under different lighting conditions—such as warm ambient lamps or cool natural daylight.

"Giclée" represents the gold standard in digital printing. It is far more than a mere "print". We collaborate closely with top-tier professional printing labs in London. We use fade-resistant, pigment-based inks on world-class, acid-free archival papers (such as Hahnemühle). This combination ensures the gallery-grade art reproduction remains vibrant, without yellowing or becoming brittle, for decades. Each Giclée print precisely captures the texture, brushstrokes, and soul of the original work.
