A £250,000 steel sculpture that rises more than seven metres above the ground is the latest addition to Jersey's growing collection of public art.

Set against the crisp, white walls of the Sundaram Tagore gallery in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City is Beijing-based artist Zheng Lu Root Metaphor, Lu’s second solo exhibition at the gallery.

Encountering Zheng’s giant sculptures, a question forms in your mind: “How did he make those?”

The growing influence of Western art makes it hard to spot the nationality and cultural identities of the artists through their work. This loss of identity is a major concern for Zheng Lu and in his search for uniqueness he tries to immerse into Chinese traditions.
