Horse in Full Stride
65 × 98 cm | Original Contemporary Calligraphy Artwork
By Jameson Yap

“Horse in Full Stride captures the spirit of momentum, strength, and forward movement. Created using bold, free-flowing ink strokes, the work draws inspiration from the horse in motion, its vitality, resilience, and unwavering drive. The brush moves with intention yet without restraint, allowing energy to gather and release naturally across the paper.

This piece holds special meaning for me as it is dedicated to Canada, a place that has deeply touched my artistic journey. Since exhibiting and performing live art there two years ago, I have felt an enduring connection to the collectors, followers, and creative community who have shown such generous support. I remain sincerely grateful for that encouragement.

Created in celebration of the Year of the Horse, this work is offered as a gesture of gratitude and a wish for the year ahead to move forward with confidence, courage, and clarity. I hope it brings strength and positive momentum to the Fête Chinoise community and to all who encounter it.”

Featured in the 2026 Fête Chinoise Signature Event Silent Auction.
The Silent Auction will Close on February 9th at 11:59 a.m. (EST).

Stand at the Feet of History: Meet Me at the King Tree 與千年香樟樹王結緣：穿越時空的上海養雲安縵酒店體驗

I held my daughter’s hands as she steadily walked a wooden spoon of water to the foot of the King Camphor Tree. “King Tree,” she delightfully whispered as she poured the well water as an offering, with reverence and childlike wonder. The camphor tree stood in the heart of the central courtyard, the largest and most majestic of the ten thousand trees at Amanyangyun, with a weight of 80 tonnes and a trunk so thick, its circumference would take at least a dozen people to join hands in a circle to offer a full embrace. The King Tree has borne witness to time well before ours; estimated to be at least 1000 years old, it was alive when the Ming and Qing emperors ruled, and lived through regimes and changes that we can only read about in history books.
