Hidden Dragon Sofa by Zhang Ke. “From
ancient Chinese tales, the physical form of the dragon is all-elusive and ever-
changing. Therefore the way of the water dragon is hidden. What is visible for
us would only be the metamorphosis of the movement of the water dragon. Hence
the dragon here is not seen as a physical and explicit image but as a
conceptualization of the idea of movement….” Zhang Ke.

Dots by Zhang Ke. This idea of movement is marked by Zhang Ke’s rhythmic
and abstract ink-water calligraphy work, which derives into multiple forms such
as the “Dots” stole and the “Hidden Dragon” sofa. The ink-water work is further
projected onto foldable screens that redefine the space of the main room, a
moment of the movement captured in a sinuous shape in the center of the
scene. What hits the eyes of the
spectator is the intriguing interrelationship between the strong dynamism
represented by the ink-water traces and the floating form of the furniture
piece “Hidden Dragon”.” Khang Ke.
