Tianjin Ren dedicates himself to the art of calligraphy, painting, sculpture and other innovative creations. After decades of global travel, the exposure to diversified social and cultural environments allowed for a deep absorption of the essence of both Eastern and Western cultures. His distinctive and unique artistic style is rooted in Asian culture, but it does not conform to that tradition. Starting from the foundation of Eastern art and absorbing the essence of Western creation techniques, his creations are an open, cross-border and cross-context practice. His works show the collision, communication, crossing and parallels between cultures and ideas. His works have been collected by renowned museums, art schools, important institutions and individuals, including the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, the Art Institute of Chicago, the China Academy of Art, Shanghai Industrial Investment Group, Ping An Group, Dongyuan Group, and Aston Martin Lagonda Limited.
