The Cantonese or Southern variation is visually distinct from the Northern variant, and is iconic throughout the Sino diaspora across the world. In my paintings, they are often given the anatomical structure of a canine rather than feline, this is because in the West, they are often labeled “fu dogs”. Lions are not native to East Asia, the original visual inspiration for Chinese lion depiction was likely based more on dogs than big cats. Moreover, in the early days of colonial Hong Kong...
