About The Artwork

Last piece - This print is 1/5. The Jade Emperor’s birthday celebrations at the Chew Clan Jetty in the UNESCO Heritage city of George Town in Penang, Malaysia Households the length of Penang’s Chew Clan Jetty stage a banquet of birthday offerings to the Jade Emperor. Sweets rich with symbolism, fresh fruit and roasted meats are served up on an altar that stretches well over thirty metres in length: supplication for a bountiful year ahead. Amid the swirl of smoke from burning incense, in the light of flickering prayer lamps, Hokkien Taoists remember how on the ninth day of the lunar new year, the Jade Emperor protected their ancestors from Mongol invaders. The Chew Jetty tradition takes place on the eve of that day, as it has done for more than a hundred years in Penang. Museum grade quality. Gicleé print on fine art archival paper and archival pigment ink. All limited editions are numbered, signed, dated, and comes with a seal and certificate of authenticity. Also available in various sizes as open edition print on photographic paper and fine art canvas. These are not signed.
