ZHAO JINHE
Zhao Jinhe's work addresses dynamic cultural shifts in contemporary China. In a nation where the thriving economy and burgeoning materiality of the modern world meets with millenia old traditions, its internal conflict is uniquely captured by Zhao who situates himself in its midst. The painter references both Zen Buddhist painting and modern warfare in his complex compositions. Self-styled as a runaway mental patient, Zhao's paintings reflect dream-like scenarios- more an urban explorer of a rapidly changing local terrains rather than hallucinatory visions.
