Cast aluminium based on 3D scan of Cedar, 2022 - Signed and numbered COA

This small-scale sculpture by Ai Weiwei, titled Cedar Tree, is cast in aluminum based on a 3D scan of a cedar tree, capturing the natural form and texture of the tree's branches. The metallic sheen of the cast aluminum contrasts with the organic shape of the branches, giving the work a modern, industrial aesthetic. The tree's form, fractured and abstract, is symbolic of Weiwei’s recurring themes around nature, memory, and human intervention. Signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this limited-edition work demonstrates Weiwei’s mastery of material and concept, transforming natural elements into sculptural statements.

Ai Weiwei (China, 1957) is a globally influential artist and activist blending conceptual art with political commentary. Known for provocative works like Sunflower Seeds and Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn, he critiques authority, censorship, and human rights abuses. His installations, films, and public interventions challenge societal norms and inspire global dialogue.

If my art has nothing to do with people's pain and sorrow, what is 'art' for?

- Ai Weiwei

Receiving worldwide acclaim for his activism, Ai Weiwei’s work spans across several mediums as an architect, curator and filmmaker. Ai’s most recognised social commentaries pertain to the Chinese government and the loss of traditional culture; Sunflower Seeds - a piece displayed at the Tate Modern - featured the scattering of over 60 million hand-painted porcelain ‘seeds’, an allusion to the destructive nature of mass consumption and the subsequent loss of individuality. Prior to the cultural revolution that took place in China, Ai and his family had first been sent to a labour camp, then subsequently exiled for 16 years. Upon the Chinese reform, Ai moved to New York and was notably influenced by the work of Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp; he also met beat poet, Allen Ginsberg, around this time, and developed his own philosophies on the schism between Western and traditional cultures. Coca Cola Vase is another of Ai’s most acclaimed works; a Han dynasty urn that has been emblazoned with the Coca Cola logo – another nod to the ever-expanding consumerist culture. (Artist website)

What is minimalism?

Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
