zhang huan studio--shanghai




i saw a version of these sculptures at a pace wildenstein show in chelsea about 2 years ago.  they are called "giants" and are large-scale bio-morphic figures that are covered in full cow pelts (hooves and all) that are attached to the forms via large, visible staples.  if memory serves, the images that show the high, trussed ceilings must have been shot in his studio at some point.  there were two more of these "giants" completed in his studio space.
