Zhang Shujian (b. 1987, Hunan, China) graduated from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing in 2010. Currently, he lives and works in Beijing.

Centering on portraiture, his work combines realistic techniques with expressive brushwork to explore the complexity of the human figure and the layering of cultural symbols. Through theatrical lighting, staged compositions, and reinterpretations of historical imagery, Zhang investigates the subtle boundaries between reality and fiction. His refined, “woven” painting language emphasizes meticulous detail while engaging with themes of identity, social observation, and cross-cultural symbiosis. He recently held solo exhibitions at CLC Gallery Venture, Beijing (2023), and Parts Project, The Hague, Netherlands (2021).
