Jing'an International Sculpture Project (JISP) has chosen“City Paradise”as its theme. As a further development of the 2012 theme "City Pride" and the 2010 theme" City Fantasy", "City Paradise" can be interpreted as a place where its inhabitants find their spiritual fulfillment, realizing their dreams and embracing a sense of happiness and belonging.

 

16 artists from 12 countries have been selected for this exhibition, showing in total 59 sculptures. This year the focus is on Chinese artists, especially the younger generation, 5 participating artists are from China.

 

The 6000 mm high sculpture shown by Ronald A. Westerhuis, a selected artist, at the JISP2014 is named‘New Life’.‘New Life’represents the understanding and valuing of life and cultural diversity. It is inspired by a bamboo shoot; defining good things emerge in endlessly. It shows the Chinese culture which has been civilized and explored for thousands of years. Cultural diversity is important for creations, inspiration and the development of one’s attitude. The perfect finishing and polishing of‘New Life’are done at the studio of Ronald A. Westerhuis in the Netherlands.
