Zhang Ding’s show born of heavenly bodies and symbols
Print Edition
GALERIE Krinzinger and ShanghArt Gallery present a solo show by Zhang Ding in the China Focus Section of Armory New York through today at Pier 94, Twelfth Avenue at 55th Street in New York City.
The exhibition is inspired by the viewpoint of the Earth. The 8-year orbit of Venus around the Sun draws a pentagram in the sky. Zhang uses stainless steel plate and gloss paint to show the black guardian figure. He also uses acrylic on canvas to show Venus.
The most ancient and perfect geometric figure, the polygon, which is most similar to the shape of the human body, generates the golden ratio: an important theorem of formal beauty. It holds that if one maintained a ratio of small elements to larger elements that was the same as the ratio of larger elements to the whole, the end result was extraordinarily pleasing to the eye, according to about.com.
Pentagrams enter human society as reminiscent symbols. They create, symbolize and imply the history which is almost related to all guardian wishes that need cohesion energy. The work starts with this orbit of Venus.
