Included in the Vancouver International Biennale, this work by Chinese artist Jun Ren, will be temporarily installed from Winter 2009/10 until Summer 2011.

Jun Ren makes his North American debut with this elegant, amorphic stainless steel sculpture. The recent work by Jun Ren is inspired from pure forms, liquid water or mercury stopped in motion to reveal its shape as a drop of spill caught in the air. Though weighing 3 tons with no angles, or hard edges, the form flows visually and appears light and fluid.

Jun Ren graduated from the Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts, Shaanxi Provence, China. Jun Ren represents the energy and opportunity of the ‘New China’, living outside the metropolis of Beijing; he has become a successful and respected sculptor of monumental and historical sculpture with works spanning cities from South to North of China, including many emerging industrial cities. His older work embodies a spirit of heroism that reflects the political, economic, cultural and historical characteristics and contradictions that flow through this time of great transition of Chinese society. His recent body of work is a dramatic departure in form, and inspiration from his earlier representational work.
