The sculpture work of adult artist Zhu Cheng, however, stood out for its wonderful form. Zhu brought three different pieces; River Water, Well Water and Sea Water, works that represent some of his earliest memories of taste. The pieces merge sculpture into a picture to create dynamic works that blur the boundaries between 2D and 3D. It is this style that has elevated Zhu in the art world.
