Learning traditional temple sculpture from Li Jin Chuan since 15 and sculpture master Yang Ying Feng when he was 30. Suggested by Yang Ying Feng, Ju Ming began practicing taichi to train his weak physical. He transformed the energy into his artwork, and created the Taichi series. “Taichi Arch” is the final work of this series, differing from “Pushing Hands” which has two figures, Taichi Arch has transformed into an abstract form. After cutting away the connection of concrete objects, a stronger Taichi spirit can be released. Flowing lines and texture can be seen on the seamless figures symbolizing the never ending circle of life.

From learning from concrete objects to injecting the artists’ strength and chi into the sculpture, “Taichi Arch” is an embodiment of the artists’ mindset that excluded details but rather pursuit the inner state of mind. Abstract sculptures can be seen as a true reflection of the artist.
