1When we look at today's sculptors, Ren Zhe represents the backbone of the contemporary scene in China.He devoted himself to works on the theme of ancient warriors and strives to show the country's cultural heritage.

2Born in Beijing in 1983,Ren Zhe shines as a young cutting-edge sculptor.The charm and spirit of his work is defined by combining Eastern culture and tradition with a contemporary trend.More importantly, it is shown by the best representation of both Western and Eastern culture.

3In Ren Zhe's studio,we can see the birth of his works with our own eyes and feel that he is a sensitive artist.Dealing with clay all day, he has made a perfect fusion (融合) of classical and contemporary art.

4“Sculpture is more in line with my personality.I think it is more real to create directly with clay without the help of any tools.A good outcome is the achievement of an artist.Your time and efforts are spent on your work.It's like a diary of the three months of your life,so I also hope that every sculpture is done very seriously,”he said.

5One of Ren Zhe's exhibitions features a large-scale installation at the tallest building in Shenzhen, calledGenesis.It broke the barriers between art and pop culture.Having a youthful heart is what he carries when he creates works.“I have been trying to express art in diverse ways in recent years,”he said.

6Inside the Ice Ribbon, the venue hosting speed skating competitions at the2022Beijing Olympic Winter Games, a particularly eye-catching sculpture called Fortitude or Chi Ren in Chinese,conveyed the speed and passion of winter sports to audiences.

7Ren said,“I am part of the post-80s generation.The movements of Chinese martial arts are likely to appear in my creations.Therefore, I hope that when people see my work,they will feel more of an Eastern spirit.”

8Ren Zhe reminds us that an artist's pursuit must be relentless(不懈的).His works are highly recognizable and viewing his works over time makes us think about centuries of Chinese history.
