Press Release

Tabula Rasa Gallery is pleased to announce the solo exhibition by Eva Zhang, Roarrrrr, from 23 April to 6 June. This is the first solo presentation by the artist, bringing together mixed media works on nylon and canvas, all created in 2020.

Working with fabrics through a variety of methods such as tie-dye and collage, Zhang attunes to the shaping of women in contemporary life as well as in historical texts. Zhang’s works unfold a re-imagination of these existing narratives: in the pictorial space constructed by colours and materials, women put on makeup, twist their bodies, fight with bears, constantly shaking off the shackles that define their images and identities, going beyond themselves.

About the Artist

Eva Yi Zhang (b.1989, Chengdu, China) currently lives and works in Shanghai. Her works explore the experiences of women in both work and leisure life. Zhang taught herself sewing and fabric alteration techniques to create her works, which often involve dyeing, cutting, and patchwork of fabrics. She draws inspiration from her everyday experiences and historical texts such as “Nüshi Zhen Tu” to reimagine existing narratives about women. Her recent works explore the female body as a subject. In her pieces, parts of the body are depicted as broken steel bars, wooden blocks, thorns, or punctured and stretched to express the artist’s personal experiences of pain. The protruding and irregular shapes made from fabric in her works seem to reveal hidden secrets within the body.

About the Gallery

With spaces in Beijing’s 798 Art District and London’s East End, Tabula Rasa Gallery was founded in 2015 to present contemporary art across diverse cultural contexts. The gallery’s name comes from the philosophical concept of tabula rasa, or “blank slate,” which reflects its commitment to exhibitions that challenge assumptions and open new ground for artistic experimentation.
