In his youth, he learned to make statues of gods and goddesses for temples from the masters, thus acquiring the adeptness for grasping the power, solemnity, an out-of-this-world sense of dignity, and the quintessence of sculpting lifelike Chinese historical characters.
The “Cowhand and Cow” of the Animal Series is a classical piece. It was inspired by his childhood years. The strong bond between Ju Ming and the cow became the muse of his creativity. He used bronze for material in this piece to explore the meditative feeling of art. The sculpture was a mixture of traditional thoughts and modern semi-concrete sculpting techniques. The lifelike cowhand and cow made an interesting piece, as it was rich in nostalgic sentiments. It was a consummate masterpiece.
