On September 6th local time, the unveiling ceremony of the large-scale Paris Olympics commemorative sculpture "United in the Same Boat", donated by the China Central Radio and Television General Station to the French National Olympic and Sports Committee, and the launch ceremony of the "Olympic Peace Park" were held at the Château de Catara in Grand Nouvaise City, Île-de-France region, France. Shen Haixiong, Vice Minister of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and Director of the China Central Radio and Television General Station, sent a congratulatory letter to the event. Luo Shaye, Chinese Ambassador to France, Stéphane Hatto, Chief Cultural Officer of the French National Olympic Committee, and Brigitte Massini, Mayor of Grand Nouvaise City, attended the event and delivered speeches.   The permanent completion of this tribute, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France and blessing the Paris Olympics, at the Château de Catara vividly showcases the shared journey and cooperation between the two countries, interpreting the noble ideals of "peace, friendship, progress" in the Olympic movement. The simultaneous launch of the "Olympic Peace Park" also adds a new venue for experiencing the Olympic spirit and enhancing dialogue and exchange in the city that marked the beginning of modern Olympic sports. It is hoped that people from all walks of life in China and France will continue to use the Olympics as a bond to promote exchanges and dialogue between different civilizations, foster mutual understanding and respect among peoples of all countries, jointly write a more brilliant chapter for the Olympic movement, and contribute new and greater strength to the construction of a community with a shared future for humanity! Chinese Ambassador to France, Luo Shaye, stated in his speech that culture and sports are vital components and connectors of human exchanges, bridging distances between people, fostering mutual understanding, and laying a solid foundation for friendly relations between nations. The sculpture "United in the Same Boat" conveys the ideals of unity, peace, and friendship through the combination of sports and culture, expressing the pursuit of the Olympic spirit by China and France and their hopes for world peace. We look forward to this "Sino-French Friendship Boat" becoming one of the new landmarks in Grand Nouvaise City, continuously showcasing the vitality and dynamism of Sino-French friendly relations.   The Chief Cultural Officer of the French National Olympic Committee, Stéphane Hatto, expressed that the large-scale Paris Olympics commemorative sculpture "United in the Same Boat" vividly embodies the three core values of the Olympics: excellence, respect, and friendship. This year marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and China, and such an artwork serves as a representative celebration of this great friendship, showcasing both countries as advocates and promoters of the Olympic spirit, harmonizing the symphony of friendship.   Mayor Brigitte Massini of Grand Nouvaise City stated in her address that the magnificent sculpture "United in the Same Boat" serves as a bridge between different cultures, symbolizing the shared aspirations of people from different nations for world peace. As the Mayor of Grand Nouvaise City, she is honored to welcome this sculpture permanently to the Château de Catara. It constitutes an integral part of the Olympic heritage passed down from the Paris Olympics because art possesses the power to transcend borders and touch hearts.   The large-scale Paris Olympics commemorative sculpture "United in the Same Boat" was created by Huang Jian, an Olympic art ambassador of the International Olympic Committee and a renowned Chinese sculptor. The peace dragon boat for the Olympics bears cultural totems of both China and France: the Chinese dragon and the Gallic rooster. This vessel symbolizing Sino-French friendship and the Olympic spirit signifies the joint efforts of both countries to promote exchanges and dialogue between different civilizations using the Paris Olympics as a catalyst, transmitting the voice of peace of the Paris Olympics. On May 6th this year, the "From Beijing to Paris - Chinese and French Artists Olympic Journey" Chinese art exhibition opened in Paris, and the China Central Radio and Television General Station officially donated this sculpture to the French National Olympic Committee.   With the completion of this sculpture in Grand Nouvaise City, France, it will undoubtedly become a new landmark in this city, adding unique cultural charm to the upcoming Paris Olympics and contributing significantly to the cultural exchange between China and France.   We are a sculpture factory that focuses on custom wholesale of various materials (Stainless Steel Sculpture, Wooden, Resin, etc.).

In recent years, as a factory specializing in custom sculptures, we have witnessed and been involved in the flourishing development of metal sculpture art on a global scale. With the continuous innovation in contemporary art, Metal Sculpture is gradually becoming a highly regarded artistic force.   From the bold and avant-garde abstract expressionism in the United States, the love for mechanically inclined steel sculptures, to the elegant and charming new art styles in France favoring graceful and delicate bronze works, and further to the classical and intricate influence of the Renaissance in Italy, and even the traditional elements imbued with ancient cultural heritage from China and Japan, the Chinese admiration for lustrous and captivating stainless steel sculptures, metal sculpture is showcasing its unique charm, becoming a global artistic language that transcends cultural boundaries. It is increasingly becoming a shared pursuit among art enthusiasts worldwide.   In addition to stainless steel, our metal sculptures also incorporate materials such as wrought iron, copper, aluminum, and more. Each material possesses its own unique characteristics and charm: wrought iron highlights a rugged and heavy industrial aesthetic, copper carries a warm and mysterious classical vibe, while aluminum showcases a light and contemporary sense of fashion. Riding on this trend, our factory continuously enhances its metal sculpture craftsmanship, striving to provide customers with higher quality custom services.   As a factory specializing in sculpture customization, we have personally witnessed and been involved in the flourishing development of this art form on a global scale. By deeply understanding the aesthetic preferences for metal sculptures in different countries and regions, we also constantly enrich our craftsmanship techniques, making efforts to offer customers even more outstanding custom services.   First and foremost, metal materials themselves inherently possess strong visual impact. Whether it is the cold and hard steel, the warm and lustrous copper or aluminum, or the dazzling stainless steel, each type of metal can add a unique charm to sculpture works. Through exquisite processing techniques, metal sculptures can also exhibit a more diverse range of surface textures and visual effects.   For example, the Stainless Steel Sculptures produced in our factory involve processes such as brushing, welding, polishing, and mirror finishing. Each technique can impart different characteristics to the artwork, ranging from the minimalist and elegant brushed effect, to the glossy polished surface, and to the highly technological mirror finish, providing customers with a wider array of choices. In addition, metal sculptures also offer great versatility in their sculptural language. From fluid and elegant abstract forms to lifelike and vivid realistic representations, metal materials can adeptly showcase a wide range of expressions. This allows artists to unleash their creativity and continually push the boundaries of traditional sculpture.   Some large metal sculpture pieces either sculpt beautiful abstract forms using materials like stainless steel or create lifelike Animal Sculptures using wrought iron, all of which demonstrate the infinite possibilities of metal sculpture.   Interestingly, different countries and cultures have unique aesthetic preferences and creative styles when it comes to Metal Sculpture.   Here are some specific examples: Abstract Expressionism: The United States is renowned for its Abstract Expressionist style, where metal sculptures often embody bold shapes, lines, and structures, as seen in works like Alexander Calder's mobile sculptures.   Minimalism: Minimalist style also holds a place in American metal sculpture, characterized by simplicity, geometric shapes, and clear lines, exemplified in works by Richard Serra.   France: Art Nouveau: French metal sculptures often exhibit characteristics of the Art Nouveau movement, showcasing elegant lines and floral motifs, such as Emile Gallé's bronze sculptures.   Surrealism: Metal sculptures in France are also influenced by Surrealism, presenting surreal forms and imagination, as seen in the metal sculpture works of Sonia Delaunay.   Italy: Renaissance Influence: Italian metal sculptures are influenced by the Renaissance period, often showcasing characteristics of classicism and intricate sculpting techniques, as seen in bronze sculptures by Michelangelo.   Modern Italian Design: Modern Italian metal sculptures emphasize simple and elegant designs, such as the contemporary stainless steel sculptures by Giovanni Carli.   China: Traditional Chinese Motifs: Chinese metal sculptures often blend traditional cultural elements like dragons, phoenixes, and other auspicious patterns, showcasing the charm of Chinese traditional art.   Contemporary Chinese Art: Contemporary Chinese metal sculpture works are diverse, with some pursuing modernity and abstraction, while others focus on folk art characteristics and craftsmanship.   Japan: Zen Aesthetics: Japanese metal sculptures often embody Zen aesthetics, being simple, elegant, emphasizing nature and tranquility, as seen in iron works by Kozo Matsumoto.   Modern Japanese Sculpture: Modern Japanese metal sculpture works are diverse, some combining traditional cultural elements, while others pursue avant-garde design and technological innovation.   These examples showcase the diversity and uniqueness of metal sculpture styles in different countries, reflecting the creative use of metal materials and aesthetic pursuits by artists worldwide.   For instance, in the United States, metal sculptures often exhibit characteristics of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, displaying bold shapes, lines, and structures. Meanwhile, French metal sculptures blend elements of the Art Nouveau movement and Surrealism, showcasing elegant and imaginative lines.   In Italy, metal sculptures are often influenced by the Renaissance period, embodying classical features and exquisite sculpting techniques. Modern Italian metal sculpture, on the other hand, emphasizes a minimalist and elegant design aesthetic.   Simultaneously, metal sculptures in China and Japan incorporate their respective longstanding traditional artistic characteristics. Chinese artworks often incorporate auspicious motifs like dragons and phoenixes, while Japanese pieces embody the simplicity and elegance of Zen aesthetics.   This global perspective of diversity undoubtedly provides artists with a broader creative space. It is observed that contemporary art increasingly emphasizes cross-disciplinary integration, with clients from various countries starting to break traditional material preferences and seek more innovative and breakthrough sculptural forms.   For example, cleverly combining copper with stainless steel or using aluminum to create unique abstract forms enriches the expressive range of metal sculpture.   Overall, metal sculpture is becoming a universal artistic language that transcends cultural boundaries, resonating widely among art enthusiasts worldwide. As a factory specializing in this field, we will continue to uphold craftsmanship, enrich our technical skills, and craft even more outstanding custom pieces for our clients, contributing to the flourishing development of this art form on a global scale.

As a factory that specializes in the customization of sculptures made from materials such as metal, wood, and 3D printing, we are deeply interested in the application of large-scale Public Sculptures in urban development. In recent years, this trend of integrating art and urban development has been gaining momentum globally, and China is no exception.   The charm of large-scale public sculptures lies in their ability to not only beautify the urban environment, but also serve as important cultural landmarks for the city. Take the example of Chicago's Millennium Park. This nearly 100-hectare city park, situated on the shores of Lake Michigan, integrates various functions such as culture, leisure, and art. The most iconic feature within the park is the giant "Fountain of the Millennium" designed by renowned American sculptor Andy Warhol. This 9-meter-high, 15-meter-diameter Stainless Steel Sculpture, which combines the art forms of fountain and sculpture, has become the visual centerpiece of the park, attracting millions of visitors to admire it every year.   Taking the example of the "Beijing Welcomes You" sculpture in Tiananmen Square, this 12-meter-tall, 60-ton giant titanium alloy work features an abstract sculptural form with a strong modern feel, exuding a unique artistic charm. It has not only become a must-visit attraction for tourists, but also an important landmark that represents the image of Beijing, successfully embodying the cultural essence of the capital city.   Similar successful cases can be found all around the world. The "Merlion" sculpture in Singapore, the "Phoenix" sculpture in Paris, France, and the "Jumper" sculpture in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, have all become iconic city landmarks in their respective locations. The common feature of these works is that they not only beautify the urban landscape, but also serve as cultural IPs that attract visitors, becoming an important embodiment of the city's charm.   However, creating a successful large-scale public sculpture is no easy task. It requires close collaboration between artists and urban planners, as well as fully integrating local cultural characteristics and achieving harmony with the surrounding architectural environment. Renowned British sculptor Anthony Gormley once emphasized, "Excellent public sculptures not only need to beautify the environment, but also become a visual carrier of the city's culture."   As a professional Chinese sculpture factory, we will keep pace with the global development of public art, dedicated to providing creative and distinctive large-scale sculpture works for urban construction. We will fully incorporate local cultural heritage and work closely with urban planners to create iconic sculptures that highlight the charm of the city, infusing more artistic vitality and cultural essence into urban development. Let's together embark on a new chapter of reshaping the urban landscape through Large-Scale Public Sculptures!

Jeff Koons is undoubtedly one of the most influential sculptors in the contemporary art world. His works are often controversial but also attract widespread attention. Among them, his series of giant "Balloon Dog" sculptures are arguably the most iconic.   Koons' Balloon Dog Sculpture made its first appearance in 1994 when he exhibited a giant Stainless Steel Balloon Dog at an outdoor show in New Jersey. Standing at 3.6 meters tall, this piece sparked an instant media frenzy due to its exaggerated and adorable design.   In 2013, Jeff Koons' Balloon Dog broke the record for the highest price ever paid for a work by a living artist, selling for $58.4 million. Born in 1955, Koons is renowned for his oversized reproductions of popular culture objects. Opinions about the artist vary: some view him as a trailblazer who will forever change art, while others criticize him for having low taste and being overly commercialized. Balloon Dog and Celebration Series   Jeff Koons, "Celebration", 2013. Image source: Gagosian   Jeff Koons' Balloon Dog is part of his famous 1994 Celebration series, which consists of polished, shiny party items. The series includes about 20 large sculptures and around 15 paintings. Jeff Koons is very interested in nostalgic themes, showcasing inflatable animals, party favors, tulips, and even Easter eggs. His sculptures transport people back to the simple times of childhood and celebrate the joy of celebration through their immense scale.   The reasons why Jeff Koons' Balloon Dog sculpture is so eye-catching can be attributed to the following factors:   Exaggerated form with strong visual impact: Koons intentionally exaggerates and enlarges the shape of the dog, as if magnifying an ordinary rubber toy infinitely, creating a strong visual contrast. Creative material selection: The use of industrial materials such as stainless steel and chrome gives the work a certain avant-garde futuristic feel. Reflecting contemporary aesthetic tastes: By transforming a common children's toy like the balloon dog into an art piece, Koons hits on the contemporary society's aesthetic preference for simple and cute elements. Provoking public attention and contemplation: Koons' works often spark controversy, but it is precisely this controversy that attracts widespread public attention, making them a focal point for discussions on contemporary art.   Koons describes himself as a "creative person". He first conceptualizes his works in the studio and then has others create them. Each of his sculptures is made of stainless steel, meticulously crafted, and coated with translucent layers of blue, magenta, orange, red, or yellow. These primary colors show that Koons is not afraid of the minimalist style characteristic of his artistic pieces.   The concept of reflection is at the core of Jeff Koons' inspiration and career. He explains that he has always been fascinated by light and the way it reflects on surfaces. He also states that he has been studying inflatables and reflective surfaces.   According to the artist, his biggest inspirations come from Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol. It is often said that Jeff Koons' work is close to Pop Art, an art movement that turns everyday items into provocative art. Koons was familiar with Salvador Dali's work from an early age and began emulating his approach to painting. Today, he is often compared to his contemporary, Damien Hirst.   While Jeff Koons has repeatedly stated that his works do not contain any hidden messages, many art critics have attempted to explain what makes this inflatable dog more profound than it appears. Weighing in at a ton, the dog is often said to play with the concept of heaviness and lightness. Objects that are typically fleeting become indestructible here. Koons' piece is a disposable toy, yet sturdy and magnificent.   Jeff Koons still provides an explanation: the theme of his inflatable sculptures is popular culture. These items are familiar to us, but placing them in an exhibition or museum setting can be unsettling. Koons also claims that his balloon dog symbolizes the human experience: just like these balloons, we inhale air. In other words, air is crucial to us, just like these balloons. One thing is certain, Jeff Koons likes his work to remain light and childlike.   Despite these works appearing childish, it's hard to ignore one fact: they are renowned for their high prices. Critics have been quick to express discontent when the simplicity and innocence of children's toys set sales records. In 2019, he even set a new record with his piece "Rabbit," sold for $91.1 million. Koons' silver inflatable rabbit thus replaced David Hockney's "Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)."           Jeff Koons' name is often associated with the term "kitsch," a rather pejorative adjective referring to something that pretends to be art but lacks complexity or subtlety. Furthermore, his works are not made by himself, yet they can be sold at exorbitant prices, which is evidently controversial.   So the question arises, what makes a piece of art complex? How necessary is this standard for creating an engaging work? Where does the value of art lie: in the artist's passion or in the eyes of the public?   So, is it shallow art or an ode to simplicity? Is it unique creativity or a commercial gesture? Jeff Koons' colorful balloon dog might still be a point of contention in the years to come. And you, what are your thoughts on Koons' balloon dog?
