Screenprint on Somerset Velvet Antique 280gsm paper hand signed and numbered by the artist of a limited edition of only 50 copies.
Following his series of trees, this screen print is based on the freehand ink sketch of the Cedar sculpture that Ai Weiwei created in 2022 and can currently be seen at the The Heong Gallery in Cambridge, UK.
The "Tree" series of Ai Weiwei are all made of branches and trunks all assembled in a form of a new tree. The idea comes from the indigenous Chinese markets in the town of Jingdezhen in the northeastern Jiangxi province, in which vendors sell distinctive tree trunks, branches and curiously shaped roots as objects to be appreciated and displayed in the home, giving all these tree leftovers a new life.
