I made this sculpture in memory of thedeceased HK actor/singer Leslie Cheung.
In order to have the best reference, I screened thousands of pictures. It took me about one month to get to the final version in clay. I even had a lucid dream of Leslie's face during the time which did help me a lot to make good adjustments. After the mold was made, it was cast into a few copies in polyester resin, tutania, cast stone, and cast-marble.
This polyester copy was sold at the Henderson ArtReach Auction.
This sculpture made with tin alloys is unique as the process of directly hand-casting it bit by bit makes it impossible to have two copies of the same surface effect.
