An accidental trip to a safari park brought me back to focus on these creatures in real life.

An accidental trip to a safari park brought me back to focus on these creatures in real life. One of the most impressive is an African rhino, which lay motionless on the ground not far from me, and its sturdy and unique shape deeply attracted my attention. The birth of this animal sculpture went through a slow, iterative process of revision and adjustment. During this period, my ideas and means of expression were constantly changing, and the sculptural language began to turn to traditional linear shapes, trying to pursue an oriental style of freehand interest. When it was finally implemented into a figurative rhino image, he was very different from what I saw and wanted to do at first. Perhaps this kind of experimentation and uncertainty is the greatest joy for a budding creator.
The state of mind at that time caused me to separate the animal image in my hand from real life. I tried to talk to him with admiration, and imagined him as a lonely hero who took a temporary break.
Everyone has a unicorn in their hearts. His gigantic horn is a sign of strength and merit, he is powerful and invincible, and at the same time he is a mortal. He is going to challenge those secular forces, old and new, those who are irrational and conformist. The most powerful force is not used to attack, but an implicit explosive force, a kind of innate dignity and strength.

👦Zhao Yongchang, born in 1992, is a contemporary Chinese sculptor. He graduated from China Academy of Art (famous Chinese artists Zao Wou-ki, Ai Weiwei's father Ai Qing, Chu Dequn, and Wu Guanzhong all graduated from here).
His sculpture works have been exhibited at the Art Expos in China for seven consecutive years and have been sold at China Guardian Auctions many times. His sculpture works are represented by many galleries,and his works is in many private collections worldwide. It is worth nothing that, in the past two years, enterprises such as PROYA, Alibaba, TMTPOST, K-BOXING, and Huawei have successively collected his sculpture works. Undoubtedly,he is a potential stock among the sculptor born in the 1990s.

Yong Chang Zhao is a contemporary Chinese artist known for his innovative exploration of oriental modeling language in his artwork. Born in 1992 in China, Zhao graduated from the School of Sculpture and Public Art at the China Academy of Art. Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades, including the Excellence Award at the 8th Zhejiang Youth Art Exhibition, the Hong Kong Youth Design Award (YDA), and the Silver Award for China Academy of Art Graduation Creation and Lin Fengmian Creation Award.

Zhao's work has been exhibited widely across China and has been featured in prominent contemporary art fairs such as the 7th Shanghai Youth Art Fair, Art Shanghai International Fair, Art Suzhou, Art Xiamen, and Art Shenzhen. His art is deeply influenced by the oriental aesthetic temperament, particularly the concept of "circle" found in classical oriental sculptures. This influence is evident in his emphasis on lines and shapes that reflect a "circular" wisdom, embodying a harmonious and continuous flow.

In his sculptures, Zhao often depicts knights who are mature beyond their years, imbued with a melancholic yet thoughtful demeanor. These figures, characterized by a steady and introspective temperament, represent Zhao's exploration of deep-seated power dynamics and self-reflection. They embody a chivalrous spirit, capable of expressing and doing things beyond Zhao's own capabilities, serving as extensions of his inner world.

Zhao believes that art possesses the power to reveal truths, embody goodness, and inspire beauty. He views the creation of art as a means to address the darker aspects of the world, providing a true emotional foundation, guiding values, and offering spiritual cleansing through aesthetics. His works aim to foster spiritual interaction and connection, continually contributing to the creation of a richer spiritual world.
