Zheng Lu’s sculptures allude to the concept of balance in all its possible forms. Not only do his steel works seem to defy gravity; but their shapes act to engulf and harmonize contradictory notions: motion and stillness, solidity and void, tension and tranquility.
Even more fantastically, each from is composed of hundreds of thousand of Chinese characters taken from Chinese literature. One of Lu’s water pieces is constructed with the lines of Tang Dynasty Poet, Bai Juyi’s poem, “Zhi Shui” (“Playing With Water”). Chinese calligraphy is known for its aesthetic beauty. Lu’s sculptures strip this beauty from the two-dimensional page, transforming it into three-dimensional sculptures.
