Introducing our latest artist project BSP AP 003, a collaboration with leading contemporary artist XU ZHEN®️.
Born in 1977, Xu Zhen lives and works in Shanghai and is an iconic figure in Chinese contemporary art, working across sculpture, painting, video and installation media.
This collaboration is a response to his celebrated series of works, Under Heaven. Created by filling pastry bags with oil colours, the technique is true to the art of decorating cakes. The canvass is covered in dense cream flowers in pops of strawberry red, grape purple, mocha green, milk white, and chocolate black. The work is fragrant, fragile, joyful, and decadent, with intertwined layers resembling a miraculous rainbow candy.
Our edible edition reverses the original work - a cake emphasising cream's presence and sculptural nature. Decorated using Xu Zhen's original piping equipment, its mouthwatering appearance and rich filling fulfil the visual feast of the original work. The dual characteristics of edible and collectable add playfulness to the project.
