Successful Businessman Summer A decorative and functional skirtedArtist Xiang Yang, a brilliant ceramist, created the Successful Businessman, a sculpture that illuminates a character drawn from his memories of childhood. Made of porcelain, the figurative sculpture comes to life with its off white, brown, and red glazing. The expressive decorative accessory illustrates the inspiration the artist finds in the demeanor of people, many of the pieces meant to be satires on daily life.
