Two become one in a surreal edition by Johnson Tsang.

The Moment is based on a porcelain sculpture, masterfully carved by Johnson in his workshop. A couple kiss within a hollow face – the owner of the face seemingly preoccupied by romance. For Johnson, the artwork represents the optimistic possibilities when we open our minds to love.

“I believe in life. Life is based on love, designed with wisdom, and allows us to grow through experience.”

Johnson Tsang12 collaborationsJohnson Tsang’s surreal porcelain sculptures balance illusionary compositions with hyperreal aesthetics. Despite their delicate craftsmanship, they depict grotesque scenarios: a human face twisted like a wet towel; a fed-up newborn trapped inside a birdcage; or stacks of human heads squashed inside glass cabinets. Half cherub, half Buddha, the artist’s bulbous figures have an amusing fleshiness. While Tsang’s work recalls aesthetics from across art history, such as Chinese ceramics and Neo-classical sculpture, the self-taught artist predominantly draws from personal experience and his intense, bizarre dreams. In his waking life these are given in physical existence via his art.
