Shi Jianmin creates his works through the fusion of form, sentiment and poetry. In his design, the artistic concept is dominating and the functionality of the object is often subdued by the sculptural form. Through his explorations of forms, an intangible feeling is created through the combination of different elements. This way of portraying his concepts, and the "signifying form" that is thereby derived, have allowed the artist to lay bare the very meaning of his existence as an individual. That is what provides his work with such liberty of space. His contemporary interpretation of naturally occurring rocks in stainless steel create complex forms worthy of thoughtful contemplation, almost like mental or spiritual landscapes. The resulting play of light upon the surfaces have the effect of seeming to disembody and even liquefy the steel works, as if they were luminous floating masses or shimmering topographies.
