Chu Ming's “Tai Chi Series” is a classic work created by renowned Taiwanese sculptor Zhu Ming in the late 1970s. Inspired by traditional Chinese Tai Chi martial arts, it presents the beauty of harmony between movement and calm, raw and soft. When learning Tai Chi, Zhu Ming was deeply attracted by the balance of strength and softness emphasized by this martial art, and decided to express the dynamic aesthetics of tai chi in sculptural ways.

The sculptures of the “Tai Chi Series” are mostly made of marble or copper, and the images are abstract, but do not lose their sense of movement. These sculptures often exhibit different tai chi boxing poses, such as pushups, turns, punches, and more. Zhu Ming gives the sculpture a powerful visual impact with its simple lines and thick texture. He cleverly captures the smoothness of the Tai Chi movement, making the work present a dynamic condensation, as if the sculpture solidifies the movement of a moment in space. Each sculpture is full of power and spirituality, giving a sense of serenity and focus that transcends time.

CHU MING'S “TAI CHI SERIES” IS NOT ONLY AN ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION OF TAI QIN, BUT ALSO HIS DEEP REFLECTION ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE. Through his works, he communicates inner peace and harmony with nature, expressing Eastern culture's pursuit of “yin yang balance”. While viewing these works, we can feel how Zhu Ming infused the spirit of Eastern philosophy into the sculptures, giving them a deep cultural meaning.

Today, Zhu Ming's “Tai Chi Series” is one of the most representative works of modern sculpture and is exhibited in art galleries and public spaces around the world. These works are not only an expression of art, but also healing of the soul, allowing people to find a sense of tranquility in their busy lives. Through these sculptures, we feel as if we were also in the world of tai chi, a deep sense that resonates with heaven and earth.
