The China National Art Museum is showing the ingenious creations of space and dimension created by one of Taiwan's prominent sculptors, Shiau Jon-Jen.

Works on show are mostly carved out of a single wood panel. By rearranging those separate pieces, Shiau successfully created a three-dimension a space of creativity. He stresses more on the form of his art, as he believes that "form comes about as the balance of tension between man's creative urge and the world that restricts it." Shiau, a sculptor who made his name in the late 1980s for his wood creations, is the art director of Yuzi Paradise, a land art park engaged in cavern art and contemporary sculpture in Guilin, South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

9 am to 5 pm, till Mar 25 at China National Art Museum (1 Wusi Dajie, Dongcheng District). 6401-7076/2252. 1
