Visual Art of Taiji and the Living World

Ju Ming (朱銘) is a contemporary visual artist of Taiwan. He created his most famous series in the the eighties and nineties, the Taiji Series (太極系列). His earlier works in this series were derived from the movement of Taiji, hence these sculptures are more human-like figures. The later works evolved into something more abstract.

All these larger-than-life sculptures are now house at the Juming Museum (朱銘美術館) near Taipei City.
