Active for years in contemporary art, film and clothing design, Yip in recent years has broken through the boundaries between mediums, incorporating in his work elements from other forms of art such as photography, video, sculpture, installation works and writing.
""I'm sure he's done triple the amount of work in his life than other artists Cheap Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys ,"" Chen said at a fan meet on November 27.
Yip, a renowned artist active for years in various fields, entered the world stage via his ""new orientalism"" aesthetic, which featured heavily in Ang Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in 2000.
For his work on the film, Yip won in 2001 the Academy Award for Best Art Direction, as well as the British Academy Film Award for Best Costume Designer - the only Chinese designer to do so.
In his newly released book Reformation Cheap San Diego Padres Jerseys , Yip takes a look back at his 30-year career and delves into his aesthetic thinking and practices.

""What I keep trying to do is break the boundaries of history,"" Yip told the Global Times in an interview after the fan meet.
It's not difficult to see the cross-boundary elements in Yip's artworks. For Yip, imagery always comes first, history and tradition second.
For instance, in the 1992 film Temptation of a Monk, he combines paintings and sculptures by French artist Max Ernst with Chinese traditional clothing, while in an adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear he made heavy use of Peking Opera elements.
In a November article written by The Guardian Cheap San Francisco Giants Jerseys , Yip mentions his adoption of Tang Dynasty (618-907) colors in the film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which is set during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), to make the visual effects feel ""less harsh and contrasted, and more elegant and harmonious.""
""On screen, you are unable to adhere very strictly to history since Chinese tradition currently has huge empty spaces,"" Yip said Cheap Seattle Mariners Jerseys , explaining his thoughts on realism in design.
