This artwork is called People Holding Flowers which was completed in 2007 by Zhu Weibing and Ji Wenyu from China. The materials used in this sculpture are synthetic polymer paint on resin; velour, steel wire, dacron, lodestone and cotton- 400 pieces! My first reactions were ‘wow that would have taken a long time to create’ and ‘the colours make the whole creation look amazing’. The way that the little men look up and the flowers, draw your eyes to the flowers. The little man at the front of the piece is the focal point of the piece as he is slightly in front of the other little men which makes him like the ‘leader’. I’m not really quite sure of the meaning of this piece but I think it might be something to do with, 'if everyone puts in we can make a difference'. I think this because there are many people, each lifting a flower and ‘many hands make light work’!
