Ren Zhe (b.1983, China) masterfully employs his artistic skills as his interpretation of traditional Chinese culture. The robust Tower of Strength highlights a warrior standing authoritatively yet gracefully on his toes. The warrior exerts the symbol of immense heroism, as he effortlessly hoists up a piece of Taihu stone that is shaped like a powerful bull. Bearing magnificence and vigor, Ren Zhe reminds us to be steadfast through hardships and responsibilities that we are bound to carry into life’s journey. Culminating years of study in Chinese literature, calligraphy, and painting, he imposes an overwhelming force in Tower of Strength through the still yet dynamic movements of the human body. Time after time, we are deeply moved by his vivid imagination of combining Chinese traditions with the human physique into a timeless piece of art.
