Zhipeng Tan (b. 1992) is a Chinese contemporary designer, known for his sculptural brass design pieces that are created with the ancient technique of lost-wax casting[2] [3]. He founded a design studio called Mán-mán Design[4] with Daishi Luo in 2015 [2]. He lives and works in Shanghai, China.
About
Tan resides and works in Shanghai, China. He graduated from the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, China, in 2015 with an industrial design degree. In the same year, he established a design studio, Mán-mán Design,[5] with his life partner, Daishi Luo. Focusing on the ancient techniques of lost-wax casting, Tan explores his interest in organic forms [2]. Through the traditional foundry process, he restructures his surroundings such as water and plants into his own way of interpretation of anthropomorphic themes [2] [6]. Although Tan was trained as an industrial designer, he approaches his work as a sculptor, pushing the line between art and design, finding a harmonious fusion of sculpture and furniture [2] [7].
Works
While he received rigorous education in computer modeling, Tan develops all concepts exclusively with hand drawing, favoring the direct connection to his work that sketching provides. "Every line in the artwork is touched by me,” he says [2]. Most of his work is hand-sculpted in clay, and the final outcome is achieved through casting, hammering, welding, and polishing.
He has selected brass as his most preferred medium in part because of its connection to historical tradition, but most especially because of its warm color, rich luster, and versatility [2].
Inspired by the art & design masters such as Joan Miró, Henry Moore, Constantin Brancusi, Jeff Koons, and Takashi Murakami, Tan expresses his own exuberance and original imagination through his work [2]. All his works are reflections of his own worlds within worlds, exploring fundamental humanity and a desire to discover his inner will [7].
