Rui Sculpture Life

His sculptures are heavily influenced by traditional Chinese art and mythology. Indeed, his life changed at the age of four or five, when he encountered . a painting of a horse by the artist Xu Beihong (1895-1953). A traditional Chinese painter, primarily known for his ink paintings of horses and birds. Ruilin became obsessed with these vigorous animal and has ever since identified with it.

Horses became one of the main characters of Ruilin’s works, resulting in the series “Horse. Play”, where pours the lively power of the animal in different static postures, creating significant tensions in the sculptures.

“Dreams” series are almost life-sized copped sculptures .And the artist describes their creative process as digging deep into his heart and excavating works that originally exist from various experiences.

About his works, Ruilin says:

“Pursuit of Dreamscomes from my imagination, which is the balance between nature and abnormal state. Animals in Pursuit of Dreams may not be lifelike for I wish to inject different spiritualities and. spirits of the east and remind people to focus and admire on . other individuals who are the same or even more beautiful besides themselves only. Pursuit of Dreams-ark is the work I was inspired in the moment of 2012 . when people were concerning on how to be saved and I make ark to save not only rivers and mountains of human. In the space of impermanent compounds, what we pursue may not exist really and we can only feel the value and force. of life when the doom is set. Just as the big fish that I compare to ark, it carries mountains and rivers with life and . observes the world with the soul”

Young artist Wang Ruilin

Wang Ruilin (1985-), born in Anshan, Liaoning, is a young artist in Beijing. After graduating from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, he began to create the series of Dreams of Dreams in 2012. He said: “Because of this real and false world of impermanence, the restlessness and goodness gradually brought me. In this way, the soothing narrative of the work allows me to find the balance of my soul. Let nature take its course and bring to my creation Soil and sweet springs. ”

Wang Ruilin said that isolation from this world is painful, but it can also reduce the impetuosity and temptation of the world, and let him see the essence and value of life. As the main work of the Dream by Dream series, Dream by Ark represents most of his original intentions and emotions.

Dream by Dream series Ruilin

The next series is about Sun Wukong’s sculpture called “Mi · Hang”. Before making this sculpture, he studied all the monkey images of China and the West. He thinks that Sun Wukong in the United States and imported monkeys are all large and one kind. The image of King Kong. He thinks this understanding is wrong. He thinks that Sun Wukong is a monkey because in animals, the monkey is a kind of spirit beast, and the wisdom is relatively high. It should be won by wisdom and aura, so the direction of Chinese and Western understanding is different. He believes that what really represents Chinese superheroes is not tights and muscular blood vessels. It does not need those hard conditions to prove himself, more should be internal.

Many people do not understand why he was a monkey. He replied, “I just want the world to see the Eastern hero.”

Wang Ruilin’s intention to create Qi Tian Da Sheng

Wang Ruilin’s intention to create Qi Tian Da Sheng is to let the world see the appearance of an oriental hero. I always think that the great saint of the hide-out series is Wang Ruilin himself. From the work itself, this quiet, formidable and powerful aura is undoubtedly his own. It seems that Wang Ruilin himself is also happy to hide this energy under a calm appearance, like the sea of gentle wind, the undercurrent surging but quiet.

He always remembered the first time he was touched when he saw Xu Beihong’s “Running Horse” when he was 4 or 5 years old. In his eyes, it was a subtle fusion of Eastern detachment and Western reason. Coupled with Wang Ruilin’s love for horses, horses gradually became the theme of his creation in a period of time, and eventually formed a series of “horse drama”. He blended the life energy of this animal into a quiet gesture, creating a wonderful tension in the work.

infinite charm of art

Wang Ruilin believes that once the work is completed, he will exist in a completely independent form, no longer under the author’s control. In the face of viewers, different life backgrounds and hearts, the original intention of creation is no longer important. Wang Ruilin believes that once the work is completed, he will exist in a completely independent form, no longer under the author’s control. In the face of viewers, different life backgrounds and hearts, the original intention of creation is no longer important. Of course, people will try to understand the work with their own values, world view, and aesthetic consciousness. The harder you understand, the more you focus on your feelings. Different feelings are also connected through the same work. This makes us viewers also become participants in the work. This is the meaning of his existence and the infinite charm of art.

If music is a flowing art, then sculpture is still music. Wang Ruilin’s work may not be the best in China today, but it can be said to be one of the most moving works.

Art is not just an ornament, but a window. When we gaze at it, we gaze at the great moment that the world once had.
