About

The Dalian artist, but based in Beijing, often insists on the forms of the human and animal body: in his goats and spherical sheep, he often dwells on the exasperation of the lines of the bodies. In recent years, his research has focused mainly on the development of a sculptural practice focused on issues concerning the relations between Asian and Western culture.
