  The animalSeriesof Zhang Ruo ( Zhang Qiang) is created between 2012 and 2022.
  This is a group of sculptures made up of animal-shaped sculptures stepping on the back of the furniture.
  What Zhang tells about the series:'
  I remember when I was still in Beijing, I went to the antique market once, and I accidentally saw a small chair. Its shabby texture took me away. Bring it back to childhood memories.
  I bought the studio for more than half a year. I spent a day playing with it and unconsciously turning it over. I suddenly thought of a thing my mother told me when she was a child. When she was a child, it was during the Cultural Revolution. The teachers in rural elementary schools, As an intellectual in the village, were beaten by the Red Guards. On the stage in the village, a criticism meeting was held, so the teachers stood on the opposite side of the stool, wearing high hats, and the scene was sad.
  So I started to make a piggy on the back of the chair, standing on it blankly, with my eyes closed, as if I was thinking about something. It felt very funny, humorous, and absurd.
  Later, I made some other animals very close to people.
  I am thinking that animals are in this situation now as if they are walking on the opposite side of human society, their homes for survival have been lost to a precarious point, but they cannot change their spiritual world, humbly maintaining a balanced and elegant posture. Looking forward to the arrival of the new world.
  Like a fable, a teacher, and a mirror, it teaches us to see ourselves clearly.'
  The sculpture 'Animal Series-The Pig' is made of bronze so as well the stool on which the Pig is standing. It is one of the last ones of an edition of 8 sculptures worldwide.

  “O romantismo não se situa precisamente nem na escolha do tema, nem na verdade exata, mas no modo de sentir.” – Carlos Baudelaire

  A citação do poeta francês Charles Baudelaire resume perfeitamente o caráter de Zhang Ruo Yu e sua atitude em relação às suas criações. Zhang começa a buscar um fio, um tema, um estilo, no reino dos mitos e das lendas, algo que dê rédea solta ao romantismo. A partir desse fio, ele tece obras íntimas de bronze que capturam profundidades sutis de emoções e um senso de aspiração ao infinito.

  Zhang tem um senso de humor irônico, como atesta sua série Stray Dogs. No entanto, há sempre uma reflexão e uma melancolia sutil nas criações de Zhang e um reconhecimento de que no coração de todo romantismo está o sofrimento.
