- Über KunstwerkThe animalSeriesof Zhang Ruo ( Zhang Qiang) is created between 2012 and 2022.
This is a group of sculptures made up of animal-shaped sculptures stepping on the back of the furniture.
What Zhang tells about the series:'
I remember when I was still in Beijing, I went to the antique market once, and I accidentally saw a small chair. Its shabby texture took me away. Bring it back to childhood memories.
I bought the studio for more than half a year. I spent a day playing with it and unconsciously turning it over. I suddenly thought of a thing my mother told me when she was a child. When she was a child, it was during the Cultural Revolution. The teachers in rural elementary schools, As an intellectual in the village, were beaten by the Red Guards. On the stage in the village, a criticism meeting was held, so the teachers stood on the opposite side of the stool, wearing high hats, and the scene was sad.
So I started to make a piggy on the back of the chair, standing on it blankly, with my eyes closed, as if I was thinking about something. It felt very funny, humorous, and absurd.
Later, I made some other animals very close to people.
I am thinking that animals are in this situation now as if they are walking on the opposite side of human society, their homes for survival have been lost to a precarious point, but they cannot change their spiritual world, humbly maintaining a balanced and elegant posture. Looking forward to the arrival of the new world.
Like a fable, a teacher, and a mirror, it teaches us to see ourselves clearly.'
The sculpture 'Animal Series-The Pig' is made of bronze so as well the stool on which the Pig is standing. It is one of the last ones of an edition of 8 sculptures worldwide. - Über Künstler
„Die Romantik ist weder in der Wahl des Sujets noch in der exakten Wahrheit, sondern in der Art des Gefühls situiert.“ – Charles Baudelaire
Das Zitat des französischen Dichters Charles Baudelaire fasst Zhang Ruo Yus Charakter und seine Einstellung zu seinen Kreationen perfekt zusammen. Zhang macht sich auf die Suche nach einem Faden, einem Thema, einem Stil im Reich der Mythen und Legenden, etwas, das der Romantik freien Lauf lässt. Aus diesem Faden webt er intime Bronzearbeiten, die subtile Tiefen der Emotionen und ein Streben nach dem Unendlichen einfangen.
Zhang hat einen ironischen Sinn für Humor, wie seine Serie Stray Dogs bezeugt. Doch in Zhangs Kreationen steckt immer eine Nachdenklichkeit und subtile Melancholie und die Erkenntnis, dass das Herz aller Romantik das Leiden ist.
