Annotation: The article is a scientific art study of the creativity of the one of the representatives of " Chinese modern sculpture of Xie-Yi(写意)" - Ren Yanming (b. 1974).The article analyzes Ren Yanming's representative sculptural works. His sculptural style features a distinct Xie-Yi style, focusing on depicting the character's face and inner state. This achieves a personality that combines hardness and softness, as well as a hidden and strong artistic appeal, along with a haunting humanistic spirit.Ren Yanming's artistic creation covers many fields, including the research of Easel sculpture.The themes of his works mainly include historical figures, themes of social reality and humanistic spirit. Through form, he shows various themes and emotions.And most of his works are collected by China's national art institutions.He favored sculptures created using artistic materials (bronze). Ren Yanming's use and development of the " sculpture of Xie-Yi" style in sculpture creation were influenced by his mentor, Mr. Wu Weishan. This article utilizes iconography methods to analyze Ren Yanming's sculptures and conducts a comparative analysis between Ren Yanming's sculptures and Wu Weishan's sculptures. It aims to clarify the formal origins of Ren Yanming's sculpture creations. Research has established that Ren Yanming's sculptures did not completely copy Wu Weishan's sculpture form and processing techniques, but only borrowed from them to a certain extent.However, his personal works exhibit his unique personality and style in the realm of xie-yi. While inheriting the tradition of freehand sculpture, his works also incorporate his unique understanding of life and art, creating a sculptural language with distinctive personal characteristics.
