| DESIGN DETAILS |
DESIGN NAME:
Return
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Sculpture
INSPIRATION:
The symbolic meaning of rooster culture has appeared in each country and nation, symbolizing the totalitarianism of patriarchal society and the fearless, arrogant and untouchable leader temperament. I used the visual language of sculpture to express a kind of aloof and arrogant temperament. This sculpture was created to explore a pure form of meaning, rather than a realistic depiction of the details of the rooster; From accidental change it captures certain stable elements, and gives them an almost abstract appearance, thus making it free to change.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This is a bronze sculpture, the whole body is concise and clear. The momentum, tension and the outer space occupied by "rooster" use the abstract deformation technique of expression. The details of any corner of the sculpture (like points the size of a needle) are regarded as a neuron in my whole life, and I hope it is alive. You can see it from any Angle, and if you go around the sculpture, you get the same kind of pleasure that you get when you travel.We know that a rooster is a feathered animal. If it is made with a very smooth and featherless texture, it will be a very challenging job for me to bring this work to life.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The viewer gets a strong sense of pleasure from looking at the sculpture around him, in awe of nature and animals, rather than seizing and destroying them.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project began in February 2017 and was completed in May 2017 at Han Dong Studio in Beijing.That was exhibited in a solo exhibition at today art museum in Beijing in 2017.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Fine Arts and Art Installation Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
First use the steel and wood to build the skeleton, shape it with sculpture clay, then turn into resin material, with atomic ash adjustment finally complete the original; After that, I turned the silicone mold, turned the wax plate and finally turned it into bronze, welded, polished and colored, and finally completed the work.
Bronze casting process.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Width 47cm x Depth 15cm x Height 32cm
TAGS:
Sculpture, Bronze, Prehistoric, Beijing, China,Rooster
RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Researched a large number of Chinese prehistoric cultural sculptures and works of Henry Moore.
CHALLENGE:
When I sculpting with clay and try to change it into different shapes, I got pleasure and satisfaction from the activities. Often unconscious efforts are made to bring out the images and fantasies of the mind. This is an abstract work, which seeks for feelings and strives for signs of life in the production process. It is not deliberately planned and designed, and it is full of risks and uncertainties in the creative process. I hope that when people appreciate it, they will feel that this is the original of it, which is more like a work integrated with nature.

Return is an absolutely breathtaking work of art that truly exemplifies exceptional design and craftsmanship. The abstract deformation technique used to express the momentum, tension and outer space occupied by the rooster is captivating and evokes a sense of awe. The details, even the points the size of a needle, are so carefully crafted that the sculpture seems to come alive. It is a remarkable feat to capture the symbolic meaning of rooster culture and aloof and arrogant temperament in such a pure form. The research into Chinese prehistoric cultural sculptures and works of Henry Moore is also evident in the work, making it even more special. It is truly admirable that Han Dong was able to create such a beautiful sculpture from clay, to resin and finally to bronze, with each step being crucial for the final product. Return is a stunning example of great design and is a worthy winner of the Platinum A' Design Award in Arts, Artwork and Ready-Made Design.
