Engraved signature and numbering - Tin (welded, polished and finished by hand) // Ai Weiwei’s Pequi Tree is a mixed-media sculpture created in 2021, meticulously crafted from welded and polished tin. Standing at 32 cm tall, this piece resembles the organic, elongated form of a tree, specifically the pequi tree, which is native to Brazil. The artist has transformed this natural shape into a refined metallic structure, emphasizing texture and detail. The rough yet elegant surface evokes the resilience and endurance of trees, mirroring Weiwei's broader exploration of nature, strength, and cultural heritage. This piece is both a celebration of nature's form and a reflection on human interaction with the environment, signed and numbered by the artist.

What is Chinese contemporary art?
Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
