A monumental mirror-finish stainless steel work anchors an award-winning cultural and residential development.
Fenghua, China
FENGHUA — Internationally recognized sculptor Ken Kelleher, also known as Anchorball, has completed Velocity Variation, a ten-metre mirror-finish stainless steel sculpture that serves as a cornerstone piece for the Jindi City Fenghua Art Museum — an award-winning project combining luxury living with a public art museum.
A variation on Kelleher’s Velocity sculpture, the work captures movement and momentum in a resolved, monumental form, its reflective surface continually reshaped by the surrounding architecture and light.

At ten metres, a sculpture stops being an object in a space and starts to define the space itself. Velocity Variation was made to be the piece a whole development is organized around.— Ken Kelleher (aka Anchorball)
For developers and institutions, the commission demonstrates how a monumental artwork can define the identity of an entire cultural and residential project.
Velocity Variation stands among the largest works in Kelleher’s Elemental series, underscoring the scale and ambition of his monumental practice.
