CHICAGO.-The Johnsonese Gallery presents a retrospective of ten years of sculpture made-in-America by Chinese artist Shencheng Xu thru October 6, 2007. Xu completed over a dozen monumental works in China before arriving in the US. Incorporating figurative art in the contemporary age is his passion. Xu currently teaches at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. Several of his past winning works from public sculpture competitions are included in our gallery show. The show also includes installations designed specifically for our gallery space as well as smaller, pedestal-sized sculptures.  (by courtesy of www.Artdaily.org)
