About the Artist

Zhang Ruyi is a Chinese artist whose distinctive sculptural and installation practice frequently incorporates industrial materials like concrete and steel alongside natural elements such as cacti and marble. Her work explores themes of urban alienation, fragility, and the inherent tension between organic forms and artificial structures within contemporary cityscapes. Zhang Ruyi's pieces often possess a minimalist aesthetic, yet they convey a powerful sense of presence and vulnerability, inviting viewers to reflect on the relationship between humanity and the built environment, and the quiet resilience found amidst urban decay.
