A Young Man as a Sculptor

2016

A Portrait of the Sculptor as a Young Man is an in situ project to be created by Luo at the venue of this solo exhibition. It is every bit as Foam to Form that raises sculptural issues through readymades, yet with a different focus on the media commonly used in traditional sculptures such as clay, hemp-made rope, timber and metal stand.
