Lladró The Guest Small Model by Kzeng Jiang Numbered Edition

DESCRIPTION

The Guest designed by Kzeng Jiang, the first contemporary Chinese artist in The Guest universe. Small numbered edition. Buy it now at Lladró Sydney, Australia.

The work of the Shanghai-based designer reflects the contemporary culture of Asia and of big brands turned into cult icons in vibrant, radical illustrations.

In his two versions of the Guest, Kzeng seeks to render his cultural roots through symbols of tradition like Chinese face painting or flower painting from the Song Dynasty, reinterpreting these elements in his own personal style. In the case of the large The Guest, for instance, he is portrayed with three big eyes on his face, which according to Zheng “allow him to see the past, present, and future as if he were a messenger travelling through time”. Regarding colour, Kzeng chose blue tones on the white porcelain to ensure a sense of visual harmony and balance. He then combines these colours with touches of golden lustre in order to convey the sensation of prestige associated so closely with ancient Chinese porcelain.

The end results are two striking yet serene creations. Two pieces that capture the elegance of porcelain in conceptual and contemporary designs.
