When Dutch Contemporary Art Meets Chinese Bronze Tradition
June 17, 2025 - A Day of Cultural Discovery

The scent of molten metal and rhythmic hammering created a unique symphony as world-renowned Dutch sculptor [Mr. Spier ] entered our bronze casting workshop. Her eyes sparkled with excitement when our master artisan demonstrated the 3,000-year-old lost-wax technique still used today.

In the mold-making section, the artist marveled at craftsmen carving intricate designs with bamboo tools, whispering "It‘s like watching poetry in motion." The dramatic bronze pouring at 1,200°C left her breathless - "That molten flow looks like liquid sunshine!" she exclaimed, capturing the moment with quick sketches.

The most touching interaction occurred in the patina studio. When young apprentice Li showed his dragon motif, the Dutch artist spontaneously demonstrated European oxidation methods. Their collaborative experiment produced an extraordinary turquoise-green finish that blended Eastern symbolism with Western technique.

As a parting gift, we presented a miniature ritual vessel cast that morning. Holding it reverently, confessed: "This contains more artistic truth than any digital fabrication. Your craftsmen don‘t just make objects - they breathe life into metal." Her promise to feature this experience in her upcoming Rotterdam exhibition moved us profoundly.
