Statement

Sheng aims to create pieces that attempt to be aesthetic and sculptural yet with a practical function. His designs are usually influenced and inspired by minimalist art, contemporary architecture and geometric form. Sheng’s work normally adheres to space, volume, silhouette, boundary and demonstrates the aesthetics of minimal style, purity of visual language and ethos of moderate. His work strengthens the visual impact and questions the relationship between the work and its surroundings.
