Item Description
Created by artist Liu Yonggang, this three-dimensional character is a sculptural exploration of written language. This 9" inch tall recreation of the 18 foot tall sculpture is almost readable as the Chinese character fo, which means Enlightened One, but the strong lines of the character forged from columns of steel are a blend of several different types of script. These calligraphic lines are also softened in places positioned as if they are intertwined limbs of two beings. Other written languages also play a role in Liu's exploration from the inscriptions on ancient oracle bones, to seal script, to scripts from his native Mongolia.
