jpnn.com, JAKARTA - More than 50 masterpieces by the phenomenal Chinese artist Ren Zhe are currently on display at Townhall, Indonesia Design District (IDD), PIK 2, until October 19, 2025.

The exhibition, themed "A Path to Glory," serves as an art showcase presenting the most comprehensive collection of Ren Zhe's sculptures, not only in Indonesia but worldwide. The event is made even more special as the sculptor, who ranks among the top five most respected artists in China, presents a series of sculptures inspired by the characters from the works of Hong Kong-based wuxia literature master Jin Yong.

This exhibition is dominated by Ren Zhe's works as part of a series of events commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Jin Yong, the Hong Kong-based wuxia literary maestro whose works have become legendary across generations.

If you are familiar with Jin Yong's trilogy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," "The Return of the Condor Heroes," and "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," you will immediately recognize the various characters in these legendary works. The stories of the warriors are beautifully and aesthetically presented in the gallery.

Ren Zhe highlights these characters in his various bronze and stainless steel sculptures. The muscle tone and personality of each character can transport viewers to their childhood and youth, when they read martial arts comics and watched the series.

The author, through the Jin Yong Foundation, chose Ren Zhe from the beginning as the only artist allowed to create his characters into works of art. The foundation believes that Ren Zhe can bring these characters back to life in phenomenal sculptures.

The characters created by Jin Yong are constantly tested between personal ambition, family honor, and universal values of virtue.
