About the Item

Sculptural and unusual stone formations have long been fixtures of the Chinese scholars' studio, displayed as sources of beauty and creative inspiration. Known as scholars' rocks (gongshi), such stones were said to help focus the mind while composing poetry, painting landscapes, or writing calligraphy. This sculptural meditation stone is beautifully patterned with dense striations, swirling inclusions, and mottled coloring of rust, gold and green. Artisans have transformed the rough rock formation into a decorative sculpture, polishing the stone to accentuate its organic form.

Abstract Scholar Rock Viewing Stone on Wood Stand
Located in Atlanta, GA
On offer is a large and expressive scholar rock on a fitted wood stand collected by an American collector in Palm Desert, CA circa 1980s. The deep grey boulder is likely granite and takes a wonderful natural form of a mountain peak. The dark matrix is dramatically intercepted with strokes of white veins, that looks like an abstract painting by Franz Kine. The rock is presented in the tradition of a Chinese scholar rock (Gong Shi) on a fitted carved wood stand, but it strikes the viewer as a modern and abstract version. While Chinese scholar stones are appreciated all over the world, many collectors also look into their local stone sources that reflect the same spirit and philosophy of using the viewing stone...
