In 1974 a Chinese farmer discovered broken pieces of terracotta pottery in his field near to the city of Xi'an. This was to become one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time - the tomb of Qin Shi and his huge terracotta army.
Thousands upon thounds of life size statues of soldiers were arranged in rank order to serve the First Emperor of China in the afterlife. Originally brightly painted and carrying wooden and bronze weaponry, their colors had largely faded over the 2,500 years since their creation. Terracotta horses and remains of wooden chariots were also found in this huge burial site that is still being excavated over 40 years later.
These wonderful figures were actually mass-produced by convicts using molds, fired in kilns and then individually painted before being carefully placed into position. It is believed the work involved 700,000 laborers and took decades, although it was never fully completed.
I am a visual story teller based in southern Pennsylvania, USA and my imagery is inspired from everyday objects and situations I encounter through my travels. My work has been exhibited and sold at the Bradford Avenue Galleries (Allinson Gallery and Huston Gallery) at Chester County Art Association, in addition to this online store. My images have also been exhibited at Panorama XXL, Rouen, France and the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, USA. I hope you will find something that inspires you, amuses you, makes you think, smile, frown, or perhaps just scratch your head. Go on, dive in... and for those of you who do so, I offer a big thank you for looking through my window on the world! ~Richard ReevePhotos Inspiring...
