More information:
This fragmentary figure reflects an artistic style showing signs of distinct three-dimensionality. This is evident in the depiction of the figure’s slender waist with the right knee bent slightly forward. The Buddha is wearing a monk’s robe that falls in pleats and folds, giving a sense of the fabric’s sumptuous nature. The missing right arm would have been raised in abhaya mudra, the gesture of protection, with the left hand
lowered in varada mudra, signifying Buddha’s great charity and compassion.
The stone head figure has a delicately carved face representing the youthful, almost feminine appearance of a bodhisattva who has attained enlightenment, but who, motivated by his compassion for mankind, decides to
postpone personal salvation until all living beings are saved and enlightened. The figure’s continued engagement with the world is represented by his hair-style, which is combed
into fine strands, lying in loops on the forehead and falling to the shoulders on the sides where they are held by lotus bud-shaped clasps. This rich imagery symbolises the material world where the bodhisattva resides

Ai Weiwei is one of the most significant and recognised artists working today..
This exhibition, developed in collaboration with the artist, is the first to present his work as a commentary on design and what it reveals about our changing values. Through his engagement with material culture, Ai explores the tension between past and present, hand and machine, precious and worthless, construction and destruction.
The exhibition draws on Ai's fascination with historical Chinese artefacts, placing their traditional craftsmanship in dialogue with the more recent history of demolition and urban development in China.
