Poster of Freedom of the Heart

Born in Nanjing, China in 1960 and moved to Germany in the 1980s, the main focus of the art of Ren Rong is the figure of the plant people, a combination of hermaphroditic, floral and human forms, which the artist has developed over the years. He presents the figure in different media, and the most popular of which is paper cutting. For this exhibition in Asia Art Center, Ren Rong will present his paper art in mixed media as well as sculptures, leading visitors to a fantasic visual tour of his exploration into the life mysteries behind his unbound lines.
