• Sobre la obra de arte
  The 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.
  
• Sobre el artista

  “El romanticismo no se sitúa precisamente en la elección del tema, ni en la verdad exacta, sino en la forma de sentir”. – Charles Baudelaire

  La cita del poeta francés Charles Baudelaire resume a la perfección el carácter de Zhang Ruo Yu y su actitud hacia sus creaciones. Zhang se propone buscar un hilo, un tema, un estilo, en el terreno de los mitos y las leyendas, algo que dé rienda suelta a un sentido romántico. De ese hilo teje obras íntimas de bronce que capturan sutiles profundidades de emociones y un sentido de aspiración hacia el infinito.

  Zhang tiene un sentido del humor irónico, como lo atestiguan sus series Stray Dogs. Sin embargo, siempre hay una consideración y una sutil melancolía en las creaciones de Zhang y un reconocimiento de que en el corazón de todo romanticismo está el sufrimiento.
