AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Here you have the opportunity to acquire an original sculpture by contemporary Chinese artist Liang Binbin. The gallery price is €8,500.

From 2006, Liang developed his teddy bear series—the deformation of a traditional Chinese birdcage, recognizable by the distinctive hook attachment, into the silhouette of a seated bear.

As a child, the artist himself loved this Western-influenced toy. Reformulated as an art object, it becomes a surreal and at the same time humorous allegory of emotional worlds and society between the West and the East.

The artist uses various materials for his series: Model No.1, for example, consists of pure stainless steel; other variants use plastic and leather for the surface textures. The motif offered here, "No. 5", features a visually particularly fascinating surface refinement of the stainless steel, producing a rainbow-like iridescent patina.

Sculpture and Psychology

"His teddy bear series is a parody of Western toys, and the birdcage hook in oriental style also reminds the audience of the decadent life and tastes of the idle upper class. Playfulness is the association of the two elements. The shape of the teddy bear evokes childhood memories in viewers, and the empty body of the bear somehow stirs sentimental feelings; all these personal emotions of the artist are conveyed to the public precisely through the artwork."
