Aprašymas

Wallace Chan: Vessels of Other Worlds accompanies the most ambitious project to date by the renowned artist Wallace Chan, the major dual-site exhibition presented in Venice and Shanghai. Coinciding with the artist's 70th birthday and focusing exclusively on large-scale titanium sculptures, the publication traces Chan's five-decade journey as a carver-sculptor, beginning in 1973. Through monumental vessels and sculptural forms, the book examines his sustained exploration of containment, transformation, and transcendence, alongside his pioneering use of titanium as a sculptural medium. Featuring key projects from recent years, this richly illustrated volume offers an overview of Chan's sculptural language, technical innovation, unprecedented technical mastery, and evolving artistic vision. Wallace Chan: Vessels of Other Worlds traces the dialogue between Venice and Shanghai, where the same vessels appear on a larger scale, culminating in monumental works. These vessels are a metaphor for the origin of humanity, and they are sculpted and carved in the material closest to eternity: titanium.
