The series 'Animal Master' consists of various animals that stand on the back of a piece of furniture. Inspired by an old dirty school stool that he saw at a market and that brought back some memories of his early childhood. Zhang Ruo started with a piglet that stood on the legs of a stool with its eyes closed, so that it looked like it was thinking about something. Funny but also absurd. Later Zhang Ruo added other animals to the series. Animals that are close to people. So close that their own living situation has almost disappeared. They have to maintain themselves with a stable and elegant posture. It makes us hold up a mirror according to the artist who thinks that we can learn something from the animals in his images.
