Manga Ormolu Ver. 5.0-s

Reminiscent of the 18th century gilded ormolu that saw ancient Chinese vessels converted into curiosity pieces for Frencharistocrats, this futuristic update fuses Ming dynasty vernacular with the robotic forms of Japanese Manga. Amalgamating decorative tradition with contemporary pop culture, creates a striking Ceramic dialogue between two distinct desin languages. The symbolic bridge is a vivid assertion that trascendence is the unifying feature of human cultural history. Brendan Lee Satish Tang, born in Ireland to Trinidadian parents and now a naturalised Canadian citizen, a fascination for the interface between cultures,traditions, and materials is a central force in his Ceramics. When not confined to his Vancouver studio, Tang works as an academic and resident artist.
