Sweet Home by Chen Ting Hung, Bronze, Metal, Signed, Edition of 36, 48cm high, 26cm wide, 15cm deep, Abstract, Body, Family, People sculpture
Sweet Home by Chen Ting Hung is a signed bronze sculpture from an edition of 36. Standing 48 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, it presents a striking abstract form that merges whimsy with grounded strength.
At the centre, a rounded, uneven shape forms the core of the composition. Its surface feels hand-moulded, with subtle dips and rises that catch the light in varied ways. Four distinct heads emerge from this central mass. Their simplified forms suggest individuality yet also a shared connection, as if bound together by the same foundation.
Supporting the structure are two sturdy legs. They lift the main body above the surface, giving the piece an elevated, almost creature-like stance. This balance between the organic top and the stable base creates both tension and harmony.
The bronze patina adds warmth and depth, with highlights on the raised surfaces and darker tones in recessed areas. This interplay of colour and texture enhances the tactile appeal, inviting closer inspection.
Through its abstract yet symbolic form, Sweet Home suggests themes of unity, support, and shared space. The heads seem to inhabit a single body, just as individuals coexist within a home. Chen Ting Hung transforms these ideas into a sculpture that is at once grounded and imaginative, solid yet alive with quiet character.
