Om skulpturen
Born in 1968, Su Xianzhong is an established artist from a long line of respected traditional Dehua Blanc de Chine sculptors and the fourth generation of the famed ‘Yun Yu Porcelain Studio’. This was established by his great grandfather Su Xuejin (1869 - 1919), also known as Bo Ji Yu Ren, who won a gold medal at the Panama - Pacific International Exposition, the world fair held in San Francisco, California, USA from 20 February to 4 December 1915.

The 'Paper' series is created by applying clay to fine gauze layer upon layer, which is then manipulated into the desired shape and allowed to dry. After the clay is high fired, the surface gives the appearance of smooth paper. The firebrick that acts as the base had been used in lining the tunnel kilns in the Dehua State porcelain factory which closed down years ago. By incorporating the firebrick, Su created a new work that is powerful and beautiful piece from a failed state enterprise.
