GWONG TAU ZAI | BEFORE SUNSET

LEGO LIANG

Shining with a glow that fits perfectly with the twilight atmosphere.

The new colours of this ‘GWONG TAU ZAI’ sculpture.

The new colours of this series are inspired by the fantastic view of the distant horizon at dusk.

This intuitive and paradoxical natural phenomenon that brings to people a very subtle feeling.

Just like in Chinese nostalgic poems, dusk is usually the background colour, most people are sad when they see all-night colours, and they are sad that beautiful things do not last, so they write poems like “The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is only approaching dusk”; however, some people see hope, and they have the vision brought by the saying “There is no way to say that the mulberry elm is too late for the sunset, the sun is still full of sky”. But there are also people who see hope, and that’s why they have the saying, “Never mind the sunset, the sun still fills the sky”.

Besides poets, painters also love to paint dusk.

Edward Amber’s dusk is the loneliness beside the railway and the whispers on the terrace; Monet’s dusk has become the magnificence of the Venice church.

To Liang He LEGO, dusk is felt at sunset in Australia unspeakably poignant, painting a not monotonous sunset became a reflection of his heart.

Nature, the brilliant artist, shows us that no matter what, dusk is more than just an expression of colour.

We often say that “art is always connected”, and what nature, poetry, literature, cinema and painting can do, I believe that a sculpture can do as well.
