Zeng Hong's work largely centers around the particular political and industrial processes of China. While also symbolising modern city life more generally, his work has long expressed the semi-military environment of his childhood, growing up in China in the 1970's. The repeated red brick motif, for example, speaks to the factory environment, the copied buildings and "publicized personal space" he grew to know. His methodical way of working presents both visually and psychologically the tensions between creation and repetition, only expressing that factory environment further.
