Clay seems to come alive in these detailed sculptures by Hong-Kong based artist Johnson Tsang. Each one of his hand-crafted scenes is filled with energetic movements that seem to be frozen in time, many of which are created in the artist's signature style where human faces are blended into splashing, flowing liquids.
Living Clay is a recent show currently on exhibit at the Yingge Ceramics Museum in Taiwan. The series merges human elements together with objects to create surreal forms that spark the viewer's imagination. All of Tsang's ceramic works are humorous at first glance, but they also invite viewers to discover a deeper message beyond the surface of the material.
According to Yingge Ceramics Museum, the pieces are an exploration of social and environmental issues, and “they are also reflections and satires of the human condition. Realized through his extraordinary sense of imagination and creativity, Tsang exemplifies the perfect marriage between ceramic form and meaning.”
