Fishing for Joy – Sitting, Contemporary Bronze Figure Sculpture
Fishing for Joy – Sitting, Contemporary Bronze Figure Sculpture

Fishing for Joy – Sitting, Contemporary Bronze Figure Sculpture

By Ser Uang Huang

Located in Taichung, TW

Fishing for Joy – Sitting captures the leisurely pleasure of fishing, a pastime that is as much about patience and calm as it is about outsmarting the fish. The figure sits quietly with a hat shading the face, embodying a sense of ease, as if feeling the breeze drift by or perhaps drifting into a light nap. It reflects the essence of fishing not only as a test of patience but also as an experience of slowing down, enjoying nature, and savoring the simple passage of time. Huang uses varied carving textures to suggest different materials: the rugged irregular surface of the stone contrasts with the subtle gradation on the clothing, evoking the shimmering reflection of water. Cast in bronze using the lost-wax method, the sculpture faithfully preserves the wood grain and tactile quality of the original wooden carving. The surface patina replicates the natural coloration of the original, while the bamboo fishing rod...
