PROVENANCE:

In the creation exploration of "Taichi Series", Ju Ming has experienced a magnitude of elaboration from tangible to intangible. Old-wor ld charm i n c amphorwood and bronz e us ed a s material of his works bring people into a serene and remote philosophical world. At the beginning of his carving Taichi with wood, Ju Ming's creation mode was basically chiseling and cutting. Gradually, he changed it into cutting with hacksaw and then ripping or axing along the natural texture. Thus the material has not only become carrier of expression of the contents, but has transferred into the contents itself, so that vital force of the image is intensified. "Taichi Arch" is the presentation that "Taichi Series" has reached the superb level.

In a sense it is an instinctive combination. In creation of "Taichi Series", the profile of body presented by Ju Ming through bold and resolute strokes in the works just coincide with the abstract ideology of modern sculpture. Every piece of work in "Taichi Series" emanates the abstract mobility. Besides emancipation f rom formula of shadowboxing, he has also remolded our cognition habit about mobile space, so that relationship between the works and the space become abstract. Especially, after occurrence of such abstract relationship, we find that every works allows us to view in different angle, and the patches under each angle of view can be in an organic echo with the overall works. In his works, we can feel shadowboxing images one after another, pacing and boxing, their leisured and recreational figures and the breath deeply exhaling and inhaling. Between dynamic and static, virtual and solid conveyances in this "Taichi Series - Boxing", he has given ultimate presentation the pith of shadowboxing yielding to dissolve attacking force, treating rigidity with suppleness, borrowing external force and complying with external orientation.
