The gravity-defying sculptural works of Zheng Lu are deeply influenced by his study of traditional Chinese calligraphy an art form he practiced growing up in a literary family. Zheng Lu uses language as a pictorial element inscribing the surface of his stainless-steel sculptures with thousands of Chinese characters derived from texts and poems of historical significance.
