Designed by Hong Kong–born artist Harvey Chan, the composition blends contemporary visual energy with the timeless iconography of Chinese folk art. A bold butterfly motif dominates the center, flanked by stylized dragonflies, paper-cut silhouettes, and layered patterns drawn from classical design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChan’s background in illustration and fine art shines through in the complexity of the surface. Bright reds, glowing golds, and deep blacks collide across the canvas, evoking fire, fortune, and transformation. The butterfly, often seen in Chinese art as a symbol of joy, freedom, and the soul, becomes the perfect visual ambassador for travel — weightless, vibrant, and alive with possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than a destination poster, this is a cultural invitation rendered with care and intensity. Chan captures not only the look of China but its emotional resonance, blending ancient craft with a modern painterly hand. A stunning addition to United’s acclaimed travel art series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Size\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28.0\" x 21.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Artist\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvey Chan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-label=\"Condition\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
