Artwork Description

Description: A rabbit leaps midair, its hind legs pushing off the ground, front legs stretched outward, just above a crouching golden toad. The rabbit is lively and agile, while the toad is grounded and composed. The contrast between movement and stillness creates visual tension. The bronze surface is smooth and warm, with fluid lines. Interpretation: In Chinese tradition, the white rabbit symbolizes peace and prosperity, while the golden toad represents wealth and longevity. This work merges both auspicious symbols to express a wish for joy and fortune. It is also a blessing to friends and a metaphor for one’s personal breakthrough.

Gao Feng, Born in Liaoning, China, 1972, Sculptor.

Gao Feng graduated from the Sculpture Department of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in 1996 and obtained his Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University in 2009. Since 2002, he has been teaching in the Sculpture Department at the College of Fine Arts, Shenyang University. He currently lives and works between Vancouver and Shenyang.

Rooted in traditional Chinese culture, Gao Feng’s sculptural language actively engages with contemporary contexts and global perspectives. Guided by the artistic principle of “encountering the ancients, the West, the divine, and the people,” his works—crafted in bronze, paper, and mixed media—combine historical depth with modern resonance. His art explores themes such as cultural heritage, individual awakening, collective memory, and the contrasts between Eastern and Western aesthetics. His representative works include Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, A Changed World, Lotus Emerging, Studies on Appropriationism, and Diving in the Sea, Soaring in the Sky.
