Description: This two-part sculpture features abstracted human forms derived from the same original clay model. One was enlarged, the other reduced by hand, creating a tension between similarity and difference. Both pieces are cast in golden bronze with a slight metallic sheen, finely polished, and rhythmically composed. They retain anatomical structure while embracing an aesthetic of fragmentation. The sculpture is highly adaptable—the angles and distances between the two figures can be freely adjusted based on the exhibition space, allowing them to express intimacy, dialogue, separation, or coexistence. The form floats between classical and contemporary, realism and abstraction, constructing an open-ended bodily narrative. Statement: Echoes of Us draws inspiration from the fragmented Greek sculpture Venus at the Water’s Edge while engaging with deeper themes of homosexuality, narcissism, and bodily identity. Created in clay between 1999 and 2000 and cast in bronze in 2015, this work marks an important phase in Gao Feng’s early sculptural practice. This “split body” pair echoes the self and the other—they may be lovers, reflections, former selves, or emotional projections. Their disproportionate sizes highlight the emotional tension of relationships—simultaneously close and distant, similar yet misaligned. The variable display allows viewers to participate, turning the piece into a vessel of emotion and a psychological stage. The broken forms suggest historical incompleteness and allude to obscured identities within dominant narratives. This is not just a sculpture of two bodies—it is a resonance between love and the self, echoing in space. View more of our Contemporary artworks and Old Masters artworks
