About the Item

Following the sculpted form, marbled coloring, and natural veining of this one-of-a-kind stone can be deeply meditative. Viewed as a source of beauty and creativity, Chinese scholar-artists would decorate their studios and gardens with similar stones and plumb their mesmerizing forms for inspiration. This meditation stone has a magnetic pattern of green-and-black strata. Named for the serpentine deposits that give the stone its vibrant green coloring, shewen stones are a beautiful way to add everlasting color to a garden or interior.

Abstract Scholar Rock Viewing Stone on Wood Stand
Located in Atlanta, GA
On offer is a large and expressive scholar rock on a fitted wood stand collected by an American collector in Palm Desert, CA circa 1980s. The deep grey boulder is likely granite and takes a wonderful natural form of a mountain peak. The dark matrix is dramatically intercepted with strokes of white veins, that looks like an abstract painting by Franz Kine. The rock is presented in the tradition of a Chinese scholar rock (Gong Shi) on a fitted carved wood stand, but it strikes the viewer as a modern and abstract version. While Chinese scholar stones are appreciated all over the world, many collectors also look into their local stone sources that reflect the same spirit and philosophy of using the viewing stone...
