Blue-and-white porcelain, in Linyao Cheng’s hands, is not just a decorative craft — it’s a language of emotion, memory, and space.

A practitioner of Fen Shui, a traditional cobalt-layering technique from Jingdezhen, Linyao blends centuries-old craftsmanship with a distinctively contemporary voice. Her sculptural works often explore imperfection: slanted rims, cracked surfaces, and asymmetrical forms that echo the body, landscape, and quiet rupture.

Rather than relying on conventional motifs, she hand-paints flowing, intuitive patterns that feel more like emotional topographies than surface decoration. The result is porcelain that breathes — works that feel alive in space, resonant, and deeply rooted in East Asian aesthetics.

Through form, texture, and negative space, Linyao’s ceramics reimagine blue-and-white as a meditative presence — not just an object, but an experience.
