Chen Wenling: Sculpture 'Shy boy' (2013), bronze

Product information "Chen Wenling: Sculpture 'Shy boy' (2013), bronze"

In his works, Chen Wenling deals with various current but also timeless themes, e.g. changes within society, the nature of human beings or growing consumer behaviour. His sculptures are full of symbolism and combine critical commentary with subtle humour. The sometimes grotesque exaggeration of the motifs makes them particularly poignant. This is also the case with the sculpture 'Shy Boy', which shows a naked, carefree boy - not realistically, however, but in the bright signal colour red and with surreal shapes of arms and legs. This deliberate manipulation of the human form makes him an independent and powerful symbol of freedom, naturalness and joie de vivre.bronze sculpture, hand-patinated in red, cast using the lost wax technique on a stainless steel base. Limited edition of 999 pieces, signed. With certificate. Size 30 x 11 x 9 cm (h/w/d). Weight 1.2 kg.
