Zhang Zhoujie

Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner

Very good condition. Minor scratches throughout the surface of the table. Minor dents to the edges of the piece which appear to be inherent in its production. A few very minor spots concentrated to an area on the top surface approximately 1cm diameter, possibly oxidation to the metal which are not visually distracting.

Zhang Zhoujie derives his work from the digital realm. Beginning with a two dimensional graph, Zhoujie translates the design into three dimensions, allowing elements of randomness and chance to permeate the final form. Following this, the stainless steel panels are each painstakingly welded together by hand. The resulting refracted finish is reminiscent of architect R. Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes, where sculpture, design and geometry intersect.
