SpaceDLiving Space
Martin Heidegger pointed out that it is through sculptures that we understand our place and our roots in the
world. The space we are looking for in this world is a space for life, a space that sculptures build and relate with us.
As described by Pan Yaochang from the Shanghai Art Academy, "The Living World series began with Ju Ming's visit to America in 1981. Apparently it was affected by American Pop Art. It displayed the common run of ordinary life, in a more worldly fashion than before, transforming the refinements of high art into something more relevant to ordinary people." (Pan Yaochang, Reach the Acme and Perfection Because of Lofty Morality: Reading Ju Ming)
Painting and sculpture have been brought into artistic unity. Living World Series (Lot 245, 255) presents a sense of primitivity and energy through minimalistic animal and human figures. The wooden texture of sculpture (Lot 253) perfectly complements a woman in pink dress with her hair tied into a bun. Ju employed techniques which are simple yet exact, depicting the hardships as well as potential of our everyday life while simultaneously accentuating individual personality and behaviours. By bridging the Living World Series with the notion of 'space', Ju Ming turns the negative space of a sculpture into a true living space.
