Exposition：

Ju Ming’s ealier works “Rural Series” in the 1970s utilized carts, cows and birds or historical figures often seen in rural as the main theme. They are presented through Ju Ming’s exquisite carving skills and are simple and pure full of rural affections. Ju Ming incorporated his affection for rural and traditional culture and gained resonance with his affection for his land and the original vitality and creation style. 

「Taichi Series - Taichi Arch」extends on both sides to explore the balance between strength and gentleness; advance and retreat; movement and stillness. Ju Ming has combined and continued the interaction between both, and transformed from point to point static to movement. This《Taichi Series - Taichi Arch》is 77 cm high and differs from the often seen circular and rectangular forms. It is almost triangular with steep but clean cuts. Ju Ming precisely grasped the taichi spirit by capturing the simultaneous movement of the moment, the strength and force is presented with energetic carving skills. Driven by the strong speed, different art skills blend together and attained the ultimate goal of “no forms and no images with the body being transparent”.
