Smashed Can Sculptures That Mimic<br />

Traditional Ming Dynasty Porcelain<br />

by Lei Xue<br />

Adopting traditional decorative motifs found on Ming Dynasty ceramics,<br />

Chinese artist Lei Xue sculpted these humorous smashed aluminum<br />

cans that bridge the gap of some 600 years of art history. The<br />

pieces are part of an ongoing series titled Drinking Tea, and unlike<br />

the mechanical process of producing cans, each object is sculpted<br />

and painted by hand.
