COLLECTION: CORALS

Sea Palace Monarch

Artist: Yuhua Shouzhi Wang

This gigantic coral you now see has been named “Sea Palace Monarch.” Presumably, your first feeling was that of surprise. Is it a genuine coral? Does such large coral exist in the world? If it is not a genuine coral, then why do its luster, texture, and appearance look so real and natural? From the bottom of your heart, you would happily accept it as genuine coral because it is truly so beautiful, so aesthetically pleasing. How beautiful your living room would be if it contained this sculpture! Nonetheless, reason and knowledge tell you that this world could not possibly have genuine coral so huge and so gorgeous. Indeed, even if you searched every corner of every coral reef in the oceans of the earth, you would still not find coral of such beauty and size. Its name, “Sea Palace Monarch,” means that it is the sovereign of the seas since it is the largest treasure in all the oceans. However, such colossal and splendid coral cannot be found in real oceans because it simply does not exist in this world.

It was created by Dr. Yu Hua Shouzhi Wang using wood that she hand-sculpted and painted in oil colors. The objects that she paints are completely genuine looking. In particular, the texture, watery tone, colors, and charm of her faux coral sculptures look entirely real. Actually, such sculptures are even more beautiful than real coral.
