    'Laborer series-Worker No. 2(2011 - 2021)
    This is what artist Zhang tells about his sculpture:

    'This is a group of sculptures about the memories of my childhood life. It is a combination of metal sculptures and old objects, full of the breath of life.

    I was born in an ordinary rural family in northern China. My ancestors have lived a life facing the loess and back to the sky for generations. Hard work has maintained a poor and simple life. When I was young, I followed the adults to work in the fields, which is the deepest memory of my childhood. . Walking on the natural land, you can smell the mud and hear the sounds of nature. Parents say you have to study hard, take university entrance exams in the future, and leave here; when I arrived in elementary school, the teacher said that knowledge changes destiny, and you have to make progress every day and leave here! Slowly, books became my object of labor.

    One day, when I went to university, I studied more and more textbooks, which seemed to make sense, but I couldn't understand it more and more. After graduating, I came to Beijing, engaged in artistic creation, and was as busy as the people here. What is the result of spiritual labor and material? People all need jobs, why? Is work destiny? Where is fate taking us? I don't know, but I am sure that we can no longer stop, and we can't go back to the past!'

    The last of this edition 8/8 is available at Galerie Kunstbroeders. This is the only sculpture which could land in Europe. Al others in this series of 8 are sold in China.
  • Sur l'artiste

    « Le romantisme ne se situe précisément ni dans le choix du sujet, ni dans la vérité exacte, mais dans la manière de sentir. – Charles Baudelaire

    La citation du poète français Charles Baudelaire résume parfaitement le caractère de Zhang Ruo Yu et son attitude envers ses créations. Zhang se met en quête d'un fil, d'un thème, d'un style, dans le royaume des mythes et des légendes, quelque chose qui laisse libre cours au romantisme. Il tisse à partir de ce fil des œuvres de bronze intimes qui capturent des profondeurs subtiles d'émotions et un sentiment d'aspiration vers l'infini.

    Zhang a un sens de l'humour ironique, comme l'atteste sa série Stray Dogs. Pourtant, il y a toujours une prévenance et une mélancolie subtile dans les créations de Zhang et une reconnaissance qu'au cœur de tout romantisme se trouve la souffrance.
