Part lion, dragon and phoenix, the Pi Xiu is featured prominently in ancient Chinese architecture as auspicious guardians that can be found guarding the roofs of imperial residences and tombs. Its voracious appetite for wealth – which it consumes and retains due to a lack of an anus – makes it a significant Feng Shui wealth attractor and preserver, and is much valued and sought after by modern day collectors.

Xiao Qing is one of the first Chinese artists to paint the Pi Xiu. She brings out the creature’s dominating essence by using bright and bold colours with a gentle edge. Combining this with western oil painting techniques and the use of peony flower and lotus as accompaniments to the Pi Xiu, her works exude the oriental charm. Accentuating its relationship with wealth in her collection of 16 paintings, Xiao Qing surrounds the Pi Xiu with jade accents, a colour that is considered as a colour of wealth.

Glorious Legend Of Chinese Pi Xiu runs from 12 January through to 12 February 2012. The gallery is open from 11.00 am to 7.00 pm from Tuesdays to Saturdays, 11.00 am to 5.00 pm on Sundays and public holidays and is closed on Mondays. The exhibition is held at Element Art Space at 140 Hill St. MICA Building #01-10/11/12 Singapore 179369. Contact number: 6883 2001. http://elementartspace.com.

Brazil is the world’s largest exporter of beef, and a recent study states that seventy percent of deforestation is the result of cattle farming. Adam meets an American cattle farmer, in the State of Mato Grosso, who explains that open land is worth significantly more than forested land and he’s teaching landowners about the importance of reforestation to improve transportation and precipitation cycles.

Adam also meets an Amazonian tribe which faces extinction if mining companies, large scale loggers and small scale farmers continue to cut down the heart of the forest. Adam learns how the Almir Surui tribe is earning an income from ecosystem services showing companies how the forest can be a valuable resource. They’ve also started an educational project, Carbon Plan, which teaches how the carbon produced by the forest is essential in preventing climate change.

Adam talks to Andrew Mitchell, Director of Global Canopy Programme who explains that, “I think that the next ten years will see the birth of the biosphere economy, in which the economics of nature will be something incorporated into business and worth paying for.”

Finally, Horizons visits the INPE, Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research in Sao Paulo, where they’re taking one thousand photos of the forest every day to find out how, over the next ten years, new satellite technologies can be used to monitor deforestation. Satellites currently struggle to see through the clouds, but in the future radar technology will be able to measure the density of vegetation through the clouds, so selective logging can be detected more accurately.

The Horizons series, sponsored by DuPont, airs weekly on Saturdays at 7:30, 9:30 and 23:30, and Sundays at 17:30 (Singapore Time).
