Ju Ming is a prominent art master and highly recognized internationally. Initiated by his father, Ju Ming mastered from carving master Li Jin Chuan in his early years specializing in carving and painting of traditional temples and horned his skills in wood carvings. He introduced himself to Yang Ying Feng and began learning from him when he was 30s, and carried on Yang’s spirits and concepts for modern sculpture. Also, he incorporated traditional wood carvings and modern concepts into his style to appreciate all living things and the power of the universe. Later, he internalized the concept and presented it in his artworks. He was brave and innovative, and his artworks speak of steady and sophistication with rich quality and volume. Like meditation, he realized that “art is a form of meditation” and his faith in life.

In《A Herd of Deer》, a herd of deer run roaring through steep rocks and forests. Under the depiction of this Chinese sculpture master, the steel mountains and continuous mountain ranges are presented with a tranquil aesthetic form. The herd is presented with a liberal and majestic atmosphere. The entire art work is the embodiment of zen.
