Sculpture :
Location : Vanier Park, Vancouver
Media : Stainless steel
Jun Ren makes his North American debut with this elegant, amorphic stainless steel sculpture titled Freezing Water #7. The recent work by the Chinese sculptor Jun Ren, draws his inspiration from pure forms, liquid water or mercury stopped in motion to reveal its shape as a drop or spill caught in the air. Though weighing seven tons with no angles, or hard edges, the form flows visually and appears light and fluid.
Jun Ren graduated from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, Shaanxi Provence, China. Jun Ren represents the energy and opportunity of the 'New China', living outside the metropolis of Beijing; he has become a successful and respected sculptor of monumental and historical sculpture with works spanning cities from South to North of China, including many emerging industrial cities. His older work embodies a spirit of heroism that reflects the political, economic, cultural and historical characteristics and contradictions that flow through this time of great transition in Chinese society. His recent body of work is a dramatic departure in form, and inspiration from his earlier representational work.
