Mr Sea

Coinciding with Asian Art in London, China Exchange presents you Mr. Sea, a special porcelain film created by young Chinese artist Xue GENG. Mr. Sea is adapted from “Tales of Liaozhai”, the ghost novel of Qing Dynasty. It tells a mysterious story about a scholar with a serpent-tempter and a prostitute on a wasteland. Director’s Statement: I made out the film by ceramics sculpture art. The value of this film is aimed at taking ceramics as a language and how to exert the characteristics of this language in it. It mounts a metamorphosis from potter’s clay to sculpture, then to the ceramics motion. In my opinion, everything is so delicacy. For me, ceramics is material, language, also, the target I pour out with. Meanwhile, this film is also blended with the new content and mode of the artist under traditional eastern culture, aesthetics and contemporary context. And it tells the ultimate concern about human beings and existence according to the tiny personal view and the bardian art language.
