Tsang Cheung-shing

Tsang Cheung-shing is a ceramic art tutor and product designer. He demonstrates his mastery of the ceramic arts in many  ways and we can see his level of expertise through his work. He does a very good job keeping is figures accurate but at the same time, you can tell that if he wanted to. What i find really very interesting about his style is the way he represents water and the fluid qualities that are in his pieces even though the medium would suggest otherwise. I tend to really lean towards abstract art. Not only do abstract pieces really allow you to see how the artist views the world but they tend to question how I view the world.

"the Kiss:" Tsang Cheung-shing, 2007

This piece is very interesting in that it has both very appealing visual qualities and it illustrates a very common concept. Tsang made this sculpture to illustrate the moment when two people become married. This sculpture illustrates the combination of two lives that occurs when two people commit their lives to each other. Not only this, but it shows a very cool moment not only with the kiss, but in the pouring of the water. The piece as a whole has a very epic quality to it in that it represents a very giant moment in a person's life.

"Splash" Tsand Cheung-shing, 2007

Tsang Shows his mastery of the fluid form and the ceramic medium through this piece. The overall form of the sculpture is a water droplet. He continues with the previous theme of abstract art involving elements of the human form and water. The execution is phenomenal and the legs are very realistic which makes the piece in and of itself all the more interesting.

"Karma" Tsang Cheung-shing, 2006

I don't know the story behind this piece but I do appreciate the qualities of the piece as a whole. The piece shows a step-by-step process of how a water droplet impacts a surface. The addition of the color red gives the piece a more negative and morbid tone that completely changes the meaning of the piece to someone who doesn't know the back-story.
