Hey everybody, look what I have just found. At first glance, this may look photoshopped, but it is actually a real sculpture! The author is Tsang Cheung Shing from Hong Kong. He created this installation for a pottery exhibition of “YingYeung” – a drink mixture of coffee and tea (very popular local drink in Hong Kong). The pottery, named Yuanyang II, is one of the collections of Hong Kong Museum of Art now displaying at the Central Concourse of Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). Tsang Cheung-shing is a ceramic art tutor and product designer. Yuanyang II is modeled in a distinctive form with two figures indulged in kissing each other. Their heads support two elegant cups for drinking tea and coffee. The form and concept design fully complement the theme “Yuanyang” not only typical Hong Kong beverage of mixing tea and coffee which was already mentioned, but also a symbol of marriage and love. Hope you liked this post! Two more photos can be found inside the article.

Wow that is awesome… id love to have that as my dinner table center piece.
First post? Doesn’t matter, really great! The coffee become faces and they kiss each other. I won’t matter to have an sculpture like that
cooooooooooooooooooooool!
very cool, i totally dig the splash action
amazing! i wonder how he got the splash to look so real.
This is super cool! I LOVE IT
That drink sounds really disgusting, coffee and tea. that some serious talent, even though I don’t particularly like it…
This is more than just awesome… This is absolutely fabulous!!!
I just love it! T.S.Shing is a genius!
peace!
Yes, it is neat and cool, but how is this an illusion?
Cool, yes, but why is it an illusion, and why would someone suspect it would require photoshop to make this sculpture?
I think this is very cool! I LOVE IT!
OMGGGG THAT’S IN HONG KONG :D
I KNOW FROM THE BACK GROUND, AND THE ARTIST IS CHINESE. :) AWESOMNESS
it looks like it would be really top heavy as a center piece. really cool though
An interesting design, very cool affect with the splash looking so real.
Tharene why are you so negative i mean what is your problem its an awesome optical illusion infact i would even kill a man for it to be on the table.
Hmm… I wonder if the reason it looks so real, is because it’s a photo. You think it’s PhotoShop, then you realize it’s not and that creates the “wow-effect”. I bet it looks really fake in real life – but still interesting…
awesome . prilliant
I think they took photos of real splashes an use them as master
i feel artistically challenged…
anyway, that is the most amazing sculpture i have ever seen. so realistic!
bara, it actually really fluids coming out, it is all sculpted but the way the artist sculpted it made it look like its really coffee pouring out
i’ve seen spilled coffee statues before, but never as cool as this!
Very nice! Is it made out of clay, wax, or glass? I’d understand the splashes if it was clay or wax, but to be made out of clay is just unbelievable!
Am I the only one who thinks it’s hideous?
Really kitsch.
“how is this an illusion?”
How is it not?
Its an illusion because it looks like coffee spilling but its not. Also, even if it was coffee spilling it wouldn’t have two faces in it kissing. Even if it wasn’t who cares? Do you have OCD or something? The content of every site doesn’t have to match the title perfectly.
Yes…it is extremely kitsch. It is not something I would put in my living room either. However, it is very well executed. I wouldn’t consider it an illusion, though at first glance it is difficult to figure out whether it is real, photoshopped or sculpted.
Hi people, i actually think it’s pretty ugly. Im not bashing the artist because that takes some MAJOR talent, but it’s a little tacky. Sorry!

wow that’s cool! k, i just realized that the slightly darker, green one is tea, and the brown one is coffee, symbolizing the mixture of the drinks… i sound like such a geek. sorry, right now i’m recovering from english finals (finals are early 4 me this year)
wow! and i cant even make the cups…
not really an illusion, but awwwwwwwsome sculpture!!
i don’t think this is “extremely kitsch”, since this actually shows the transience of love, and how it only exists for exactly one moment and then everything goes back to chaos (or maybe it’s just “over, and then shh shhh, it’s nice and quiet”.. but i’m drifting…)
that so sweet those to cups are kissing
wow, that’s so cool, i love it!
how could that tiny thing carry so much coffee??? (nice illusion by the way!!)
Shut up, Aviv.
EWEWWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEWEW!
Marvelously Splendid.
What else next can He come up with.
It’s just photoshopped!
Cool!
This is super cool! I LOVE IT
I WANT IT!!!! I wonder if he makes replica’s?
I wonder if the reason it looks so real, is because it’s a photo. You think it’s PhotoShop, then you realize it’s not and that creates the “wow-effect”. I bet it looks really fake in real life – but still interesting… It’s really sweet
Nice One……..Wonderfull Art
