On December 4Th, our whole class went to an exhibition with Ms. Hadley. We went to Nanjing University to see the exhibition of Wu Weishan. Wu Weishan is a very famous artist and makes a lot of great and meaningful sculptures. This exhibition is called "Cultural Figures sculpture". There were many interesting sculptures in it and they were all contemporary.
I saw a very wonderful work in the exhibition and it is called "Lao Zi". This artwork is made by himself. It is made in 2002. “Lao Zi” is very tall and big. The color of it is copper. It is made of mud and a little metal. This artwork is very special because it is empty inside. People can go inside the sculpture and it’s big enough to have several people in it. There are many words on the inside wall and people can not understand them because they are old words. Lao Zi has long beard and he is sticking up his index finger and pointing to the sky. He looks like an old man who wants to say something. Lao Zi is very muscular although he is very old. People can see the muscle clearly. Wu Weishan sculpted so carefully that the whole artwork looks very great.
Lao Zi makes me feel awestruck. It’s like I am standing in front of a great man and he is teaching me something. It does not mean I like this artwork but I think it has a deep meaning.
I know Lao Zi is a famous Chinese educator and philosopher. There are many people know him. So when he sticks up his index finger, I think he wants to say and think something because he is not smiling but frowning. Lao Zi is merciful with others. The work reminds me to be a good person and try my best to do everything. His motion also tells me to be honest and teaches us to forgive people. He is a symbol of education in the world. He is a good teacher too. Wu Weishan may want to tell people to be a person such as Lao Zi. This is the greatness of an artist.
I don’t like this artwork because it does not look good or beautiful. It is an old man so it is not good-looking although he is Lao Zi. It is meaningful but it is still very strange. I like people smiles but Lao Zi does not, so this is another reason. Though I don’t like it but I still esteem this. There is a brochure about the exhibition and it explains the meaning of “empty”. It says “empty” is the symbol of the whole universe. It’s a large space and it subsumes everything in the world. Wu Weishan made the inside of Lao Zi empty because he wants everybody knows that Lao Zi is a merciful man. Lao Zi can forgive others and many bad things. Wu Weishan also sculpted the muscle of Lao Zi because this would make people think that Lao Zi is a man with both strength and wisdom. This could change some people’s thoughts. Eastern people not only have knowledge but also have power. Lao Zi is both very wise and strong. Wu Weishan tells others that a person can have both of them.
This artwork is really wonderful. It has deep meaning that teaches people to have good qualities.
