THE WORLD OF CHINESE KUNG FU (1)

Against the backdrop of the simple abode of a chinese pugilist is FOK YAT, a hardworking farmer turned KUNG FU master. His well-known lightning moves, particularly the lightning stick, is well-known in Guangzhou. A little-known fact is that his great descendant FOK YUEN actually trained the imperial police in the use of the blistering baton, who then used it against the rebels in the Boxer Uprising.

See him in his various poses on his beloved cool bamboo chair.

BLACK BEAUTY

The biggest project in my collection was the white horse - it is now black. (black spray paint, then transparent laquer) I think i like it black.

How about you? Your opinions are welcome.

For the construction of the white horse (white air-dry clay), you may view it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Ha_fe113M

Ranger kills Snake

I didn't do ranger; as in he's not made of clay, and i didn't create him. However, this snake is made in about 3 minutes and it's one of those 'flash' moments where idea and context fit in just so nicely. The whole setting in the birdcage and all is an installation piece which is personal to me. It also has spiritual significance - The Devil has been defeated!!!

The snake is the flesh and the old man. The old man fights against the Spirit...But like i said, the Devil has been defeated! And no one who comes against the mark of the Cross will prosper!

From Picasso to Post-Modern Furniture Design!

I have been thinking about this piece for some time now. At last! It's done. It's an adaptation of Nelson's classical piece. There are improvements! For those who are familiar with Nelson's sofa, this is more than a sofa. This is a setee and a daybed as well. Rest your head on the white piece on the right and you can put yor legs on the left. It is also a couple's sofa.This design is my copyright! Anyone interested to buy this design is welcome to contact me ;-)
