Gravity-defying sculptures by Zheng Lu (b. 1978, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia) are installed in public spaces around the world, including a monumental work at the National Center for Performing Arts in Beijing. Most recently, the gallery placed a twenty-foot-tall sculpture adjacent to the United Nations in New York. 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.
With recent work, the Beijing-based artist continues to explore water, long a subject of fascination. Early Chinese philosophers used physical principles of the natural world to better understand the mysteries of the cosmos and the nature of man. Water, a shapeless medium that can be potent or supple, dynamic or latent, can take on abundant meaning and serve as a tangible model embedded with ideas. For Zheng, it is not only an element essential to existence, but a substance symbolic of change, self-reflection and the passage of time.
