'Laborer series-Worker No. 2(2011 - 2021)
This is what artist Zhang tells about his sculpture:
'This is a group of sculptures about the memories of my childhood life. It is a combination of metal sculptures and old objects, full of the breath of life.
I was born in an ordinary rural family in northern China. My ancestors have lived a life facing the loess and back to the sky for generations. Hard work has maintained a poor and simple life. When I was young, I followed the adults to work in the fields, which is the deepest memory of my childhood. . Walking on the natural land, you can smell the mud and hear the sounds of nature. Parents say you have to study hard, take university entrance exams in the future, and leave here; when I arrived in elementary school, the teacher said that knowledge changes destiny, and you have to make progress every day and leave here! Slowly, books became my object of labor.
One day, when I went to university, I studied more and more textbooks, which seemed to make sense, but I couldn't understand it more and more. After graduating, I came to Beijing, engaged in artistic creation, and was as busy as the people here. What is the result of spiritual labor and material? People all need jobs, why? Is work destiny? Where is fate taking us? I don't know, but I am sure that we can no longer stop, and we can't go back to the past!'
The last of this edition 8/8 is available at Galerie Kunstbroeders. This is the only sculpture which could land in Europe. Al others in this series of 8 are sold in China. - 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.
