2011-2012 Dream
While studying at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, Hu Shaoming independently createdDream— a surrealist large-scale sculpture of a colossal seahorse submerged beneath the sea, its crown breaking the surface as a castle, its body filled with intricate mechanical structures. The work is a call to awareness: a meditation on the steel-driven erosion of modern civilisation and an urgent plea for the natural world.Pictured: the artist alongsideDreamduring its creation.
FULL BIOGRAPHY
2012-2013 The Shelter
The Shelterwas Hu Shaoming's graduation work at the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts — an umbrella from beneath which an inverted steel city grows downward, its skyline composed of traditional Chinese architectural forms rendered in cold industrial metal. The umbrella becomes a metaphor for preservation: sheltering cultural heritage from the encroachment of modernity. The work has been permanently acquired by China Central Television (CCTV), Beijing.

This devotion gave rise to an atelier built on uncompromising standards, earning the enduring trust of collectors and institutions worldwide.

Marilyn Monroe
"Beyond the Likeness, Sculpting the Soul."
Marilyn Monroe: The Gilded Legend | Artist's Signature Edition by Hu Shaoming
Marilyn Monroe is often remembered through soft, romanticized filters. However, this hyper-realistic study focuses on her most defiant and controversial presence: the gold lamé gown from the 1953 classic Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Deemed too provocative for the censors of her era, the dress represents a moment of raw, unshielded magnetism. Master Hu Shaoming meticulously explores the tension between the dazzling public icon and the spirited woman who dared to occupy the center of the world's gaze.
Hand-sculpted by Principal Artist Hu Shaoming (Graduate of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts), whose works have been celebrated by leading global media such as Designboom, Colossal, and CCTV.
