Quick-witted, charming and lucky, the adaptable Monkey livens up any occasion.
Delight in the playful monkeys balancing on top of each other, and juggling small glowing peaches, with a large golden peach at the top - the peach representing long life.
Zhang's impressive 8 metre tall Monkey tower captures the monkey as playful and child-like. Their poses were developed from imagining the monkey as acrobats hopped on each other's shoulders.
About the artist
Born in Sydney, Louise Zhang is a Chinese-Australian artist, whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture and installation. Hear how her fascination with collectable toys inspired this work. Zhang graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts by Research at UNSW Art & Design in 2016. Her work has been displayed in exhibitions across Australia and China.
Don't forget to download our Sydney Culture Walk app to discover all 12 Lunar Lanterns.
The Lunar Lanterns will be lit from dusk each evening, but are just as impressive by day.
