Brilliance
Brilliance is a public sculpture installed in a courtyard pool at One Pengrui in Guangzhou, China. The work consists of eight copper fish that appear to swim in shallow water. Traditional Lingnan copper casting is combined with modern hot coloring, giving golden edges and a jasper-like surface. The fish are arranged to form flowing visual lines that guide viewers through the space. Lighting at the base mixes cool light strips with warm points to reveal the forms. Anti-corrosion treatment protects the copper. The sculpture measures 2600 mm in width, 766 mm in depth and 358 mm in height.
