Liang Shaoji was born in Shanghai in 1945. Liang Shaoji has devoted himself to exploring the critical points of art and biology, installation and sculpture, new media and behavior, and has continued to create “nature series” with the life course of silkworms as the medium, the interaction with nature as the feature, and the time and life as the core. His works are full of meditation, philosophy and poetry, and become the inner beauty of the empty silk trace.
