About The Work
Following his series of trees, this screenprint is based on the freehand ink sketch of the Cedar sculpture that Ai Weiwei created in 2022, currently on view at The Heong Gallery in Cambridge, UK.
This "Tree" series of Ai Weiwei are made of branches and trunks assembled to form a new tree. The idea comes from the indigenous Chinese markets in the town of Jingdezhen in the northeastern Jiangxi province. Vendors sell distinctive tree trunks, branches and curiously shaped roots as objects to be appreciated and displayed in the home, giving all these tree leftovers a new life.
