Tong Ming studied environmental sculpture studies in China at the Art Academy where he also obtained his PhD and taught. His career is characterized by various solo and group exhibitions.
He also works in conceptions of urban art creations. Since 1994 he lives and works in France where he is a member of the Parisian Maison des Artistes. He is also a member of the 'Ateliers d'art de France'. Tong Ming has been teaching at the Arts Department of the Ecole Supérieure du Nord Pas de Calais since 1996.
Today, Tong Ming is mainly concerned with ceramics because of its affinity with the natural material, especially the clay. He takes his inspiration from the basic techniques he developed during his years as a sculptor and through study. His creations are the result of inspiration from both French and Chinese culture and are characterized by humor, beauty and serenity.
The statues are made of ceramic with a lot of color. The deepness of the color palette is the result of frequent experimentation with pigments. Moreover, Tong Ming always adds a robust touch of paint in his work.
