Zhang Youzhi (张 有志) is a contemporary Chinese sculptor whose work transcends mere artistic expression to embody a broader shaping of life and character. He believes that sculpture is not only a profession but also a reflection of the spiritual core that it carries for everyone. Zhang’s (张 有志) philosophy is deeply rooted in the concept of "Qing," an aesthetic principle in oriental culture that embodies spiritual nobility and a healthy attitude towards life. This principle reflects a pursuit of balance, which is central to his artistic vision.

His current series, "Qingzhe," explores three traditional themes: deer, dragon, and literati. Through his sculptures, Zhang (张 有志) aims to express his personality and the realism of his state of mind. The composition of deer and bamboo symbolizes not only the elegant beauty of oriental imagery but also the upright personality that he strives to convey. Meanwhile, the depiction of deer and fire represents the harmony of movement and stillness, cold and warm, encapsulating his aesthetic concept of a balanced state of mind.

Many of Zhang's (张 有志) works feature a palette dominated by green, which he likens to water, evoking a cool and calm breath. The combination of green and white creates an elegant, refined literary atmosphere. His recent works often incorporate elements from the traditional Tai Chi diagram, such as "The Pure One: Seeking the Quiet," where the figure’s posture suggests a quest for tranquility within nature, reflecting a personal philosophy of finding serenity amidst the chaos of modern life.

The "Fool" series reflects Zhang's (张 有志) contemplation of contemporary life's fast pace, urging society to slow down and cultivate an appreciation for the aesthetics of everyday existence. His works often feature symmetrical and slightly dynamic compositions that convey a sense of timelessness.

Zhang (张 有志) approaches his creative process with a rational and experimental mindset, viewing sculpture as a discipline that requires a deep understanding of technical skills and personal cultivation. He emphasizes that character, rather than emotion, drives his work, where each sculpture is meticulously crafted through repeated iterations until reaching an ideal form. Although the process can be arduous, he hopes his creations bring a sense of relaxation and reflection to those who engage with them.

As an artist, Zhang Youzhi (张 有志) sees sculpture as a life note—a means through which individuals can reconnect with themselves and nurture their aesthetic sensibilities. He aspires for everyone to embody the qualities of both a "clear person" and a "fool" in life, encouraging a balance between wisdom and simplicity.
