Stainless steel sculpture of a large, irregular shape resembling a limestone scholar rock, presented on a black plinth. It appears smooth and shiny in texture, but craggy in form.

Zhan Wang 展望

Artificial Rock No. 31 假山石第31號

2001

This sculpture is a part of series that makes reference to the form and materiality of scholars’ rocks. Zhan Wang recasts the rocks in glossy, shiny stainless steel, a ubiquitous material of the modern age. He reinvents the literati tradition for contemporary times and examines sculpture as a medium.
