The work "Bamboo Stick Sofa" is one of the "Bamboo Stick Series" created by Yang Gao with bamboo sticks as materials, and it is also the first work of this series. The artist is trying to find its characteristics and explore its possibilities through the study. The work "Bamboo Stick Sofa" is made by using the elastic characteristics of bamboo without any other bonding assistance. Yang Gao hopes to show the expressive force of bamboo through this pure production technique.
In Chinese traditional culture, bamboo is forthright for literatus, transparent for artis, tall and straight for architects, and what will it be for an artist? There is neither the impression of bamboo in the human brain nor the symbol of bamboo culture. Simply it is the bamboo in the artist's eyes. Seeing its fiber, seeing its cell, and seeing its difference, bamboo shows its unique charm in the simplest way and strength.
