Exquisite Animal Sculptures by Zhao Kai

Chinese artist Zhao Kai combines traditional realism and contemporary artistry to create stunningly lifelike animal sculptures.

The choice of bronze as his primary medium lies on the enduring nature of the material. Zhao also employs enamel painting techniques to add the finishing touches and breathe life into his creations. His ability to capture the essence of each animal he portrays, from the graceful leopard to the imposing bull, is truly remarkable.

“Colour and texture are the two key elements in his work. He uses the fine and smooth form to create a sense of peace and distant realm to direct viewers away from the world of impetuousness and shallowness.”
