2014年，钟乐星获得了约翰莫尔绘画奖。此后，他在重要艺术机构和画廊举办多次个展，包括上海春美术馆、上海韩国文化院、柏林Kommunale美术馆、上海艺博画廊、无锡程及美术馆、四川要空间、北京艺术仓库、上海复星艺术中心、上海BLANK画廊等。

Lexing Zhong often employs linen as the base for his artworks, a choice that masterfully blends the texture of the coarse fabric with the artist's candid and bold brushwork, creating a harmonious resonance with the theme of "touch" which he seeks to convey. Within these compositions, the artist's rich and solid color blocks serve as a distinct support, seemingly magnifying and expanding the surrounding narrative, allowing it to roam and float in the spatial realm, thereby delivering an irresistible and potent visual experience for the viewers.

钟乐星的作品多采用亚麻布作为媒介，这个选择精妙地将粗糙织物的质感与艺术家坦率而大胆的笔触相融合，与他所追求的触摸的主题形成了协调的共鸣。在这些构图中，艺术家浓郁而坚实的色块充当了鲜明的支撑，让围观的叙事似乎被放大、扩展，漫游、漂浮在空间中，从而为观者带来了无法抗拒的强烈视觉体验。
