Seeing Dragons in the Clouds is a fascinating exhibition that celebrates the artistic imagination. We have all looked at the sky and transformed the shapes of clouds into imaginary beasts and objects and this exhibition highlights nine very different artistic visions and their ability to see something magical in the ordinary and the everyday.
Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize potent and auspicious powers, particularly control over water, rainfall, typhoons, and floods. The dragon is also a symbol of power, strength, and good luck for people who are worthy of it. With this, the Emperor of China usually used the dragon as a symbol of his imperial power and strength.
