Explore the dramatic life of Nicholas Iquan Gaspard (Zhilong Zheng), a Ming Dynasty admiral & pirate who defied empires. Witness his naval power & political intrigue through captivating art.
A graduate of architecture and environmental art at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Chinese artisan Zhilong Zheng has been collecting and testing new uses for disused timber since his college days. His organic creations contrast with China’s industrial milieu. This unique piece of furniture portrays the overwhelming power of the elements to re-assimilate natural materials into the landscape. After observing how the sun and wind had returned the discarded timber of demolished houses to its natural form, Zheng created a series of chairs that appear to emerge from the earth. By creating a conduit between nature and the nurtured environment, each piece resonates with a gentle reverence for age-old Chinese craft traditions.
