Some value practice to test my new Leda sketchbook! I'm actually really surprised about the quality of their paper - it's perfect for pencil sketching, and surprisingly almost as smooth as Moleskine paper So I've been watching @schoolism tutorials lately and since I've always been self taught, it's interesting to understand the technique and theory from an academic standpoint. This was a sculpture from Wang Shugang on McGill college's campus, the statues are probably a new favorite of mine in the city now

“The Meeting” (part 2) • Collection of 8 painted bronze figures by artist Wang Shugang (b. 1960, China)• Dimensions (H X W): 92 x 75 cm (36 x 30 in) each - Weight: 100 kg (220 lbs) each • This installation is part of a series of artworks on loan from the @van_biennale to @artsontheave • The Vancouver Biennale is a non-profit organization that exhibits art in public spaces to encourage community engagement and social action. • Artist Wang Shugang, who states he is translocating Chinese reality to Canada. Known as the pioneer of China’s politically charged cynical realism, Shugang, as stated in the press release, “playfully and astutely mocks the history and political events of the cultural revolution and Maoist China.” Shugang is well known for painting his pieces solid in either red, black, white, or bronze; the red — commonly known as Chinese red — is often associated with the Chinese government and communism. • “The Meeting” is located across the street from “Love Your Bean” 118th Avenue at 92nd Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
