🧬The application of scientific images and mathematical symbols gives art a scientific temperament and science an artistic romance💕
⭐He can also create with discarded 📜cardboard and colorful industrial paints 🎨, or monochrome tar
⭐He can even use scientific theories and 📈economic data as non-material raw materials for creation
⭐The curves belonging to God - "Uncertain Lines" and "Collapse" series of large weathering steel sculptures ➰, widely praised in the 🌍global public art community 👍, each line reveals a brave exploration of the unknown world

📷Photography recommendation:
The architectural style of the entire exhibition hall is very modern, and the overall style is bright and artistic. It is very suitable for sisters in Beijing to take photos and check in~
It is recommended to come when the sun is shining. The whole exhibition hall is transparent, and with the art exhibits, it is very textured.
