'The tree and the shade' by Ricard Chiang

This project is the transition of the artistic universe of Ricard Chiang (Barcelona, ??1966) to resin sculpture and installation. It is also the confirmation of one of the keys to his work: the indissoluble union of art and nature. In this case, influenced by the Mallorcan countryside where the artist of Chinese descent lives since several years.

The tree and the shade  is part of an ambitious international promotion with stops in the Chinese Cultural Center in Madrid, at the headquarters of the Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur, Villa Friede in Bonn, at Casa Asia in Barcelona,at the Instituto Cervantes in Beijing and now in Casal Solleric of Palma.

The exhibition brings together several series of sculptures and installations. The series are: Fog (mixed media on polycarbonate), The Almond Blossom  (resin, almond flowers, wood), Roots  (resin and roots) and Spiders  (resin, spider silk, pigments and wood). Installations: Sunset  (resin, flowers, pigments and wood), Composter   (ink, paints and organic waste) and Shadows  (rice paper and branches).
