Chinese artist Zhang Xiangxi no need to pick up the program guide to find out what is on the air today. This is because on the "screen" of his TV, as a rule, you can see the interior of an ordinary apartment or workshop. The artist creates amazing dioramas inside old TVs.
The works of Zhang Xiangxi are striking in their precision and diminutiveness: the old "boxes" become an inexhaustible field of activity for the master. He manages not only to recreate the interior of the rooms, creating miniature tables and beds, but even to imitate the clutter that reigns in mini-rooms.
Any housing can serve as a prototype for creating sculptural compositions: in the "television" arsenal of Zhang Xiangxi - copies of his parents' living room and his own workshop. The artist is "inspired" even by the littered carriages of trains: the seats and shelves with things look very realistic. Of course, in the works of the talented Chinese there are also exemplary rooms - with special love, the master created the diorama of the house of his dreams.
Observation of people's daily life, reproduction of all its details and the smallest details become defining for Zhang Xiangxi. A characteristic feature of his work is complete everyday reliability, which is achieved not only due to the accuracy of observations, but also becomes the result of a careful selection of materials. Wood, plastic, fabric - Zhang Xiangxi creates interior items from the same materials that are used in everyday life.
By the way, Zhang Xiangxi is not the only master who has a love for miniature houses. On the site Kulturologiya.ru we have already talked about the work of designer Lorraine Robinson, who also managed to create an exact copy of her own home, placing it … inside a guitar deck.
