Covered Bridge: Life is a Lively Play

"Mr. Zhu Guangqian once said that life is a lively play. I think that as an artist, no matter what techniques and materials (whether it’s wood, stone, or any other materials) I use, I want to express my true thoughts, feelings, and attitudes towards the world, society, and human beings. Therefore, the concern for human beings themselves is the original intention, and also the foundation of my art!
This work represents the memory of my life experience in Guizhou for many years and displays the most down-to-earth life scene in Guizhou. This work is also the art practice of my long-term concern about and reflection on a large number of traditional sculpture modeling languages and forms such as wood carvings, pottery figurines and storytelling figurines in the Han Dynasty." says Tian.
