The artworks by Ju Ming have always fascinated me. He is arguably Taiwan's most influential sculptor. Born in 1938, Ju Ming attained fame in Taiwan in the 1970s and in New York in 1983.

| Ju Ming's Taichi Series, 1994. Bronze. |
Back in the year 2004, I have had the pleasure to see and experience a number of his sculptures at various location in Singapore. The brilliant colours of his "Living World" series caught my attention immediately. It was however his "Taichi" series that I have found intriguing and more innovative. When I learnt that Ju Ming's Taichi series would be exhibited in the Singapore Botanic Gardens, I planned and made time to check out the Ju Ming Taichi Series Monumental Outdoor Exhibition.

| Ju Ming's Taichi Series - Taichi Arch, 2000. Bronze. |
This monumental outdoor exhibition will feature fifteen of Ju Ming's bronze masterpieces from the Taichi Series, set within the landscaped outdoor spaces of the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
I enjoyed viewing Ju Ming's sculptures outside the usual confines of a gallery. The beautiful landscaped spaces of the Singapore Botanic Garden greatly complemented Ju Ming's sculptures from his Taichi Series. Words cannot quite describe the experiences of viewing Ju Ming's sculptures. If forced to find words to describe, in essence, each sculpture is like a poetic form that seems to interact with the surrounding works of Nature.

Go and experience his sculptures in the outdoor spaces of the Singapore Botanic Gardens for yourself. This exhibition is free-of-charge and will continue till 16 Apr 2015.
