Zheng Lu
Contemporary Chinese calligraphic stainless steel sculpture

2023

About the Item

Zheng Lu Silver River, 2023 Stainless steel Edition 1 of 3 47¼ x 27½ x 19¾ in. 120 x 70 x 50 cm ZL090.1 The gravity-defying sculptural works of Zheng Lu (b. 1978) are installed in public spaces throughout China, including a monumental work at the National Center for Performing Arts in Beijing. Pulsing with movement, they evoke splashes of water in mid-air. They are technically astonishing; their fluid, animated forms are charged with the energy (qi) of the universe, belying their steel composite. Many are deeply influenced by his study of traditional Chinese philosophy, and often calligraphy, an art form he practiced growing up in a literary family. Zheng Lu is known for using language as a pictorial element, composing the surface of stainless-steel sculptures out of thousands of Chinese characters derived from texts and poems of historical significance.
