ZHONG BIAO
Zhong Biao stands as one of the world’s most enigmatic and eminent Chinese artists of our time. Thematic concerns like global consumerism, social reform and the inevitable juxtaposition of the East and West all form a great canvas of stunning aesthetics for this artist, and this show will astound and delight the eye of art lovers and collectors alike. Zhong Biao’s expansive canvases are swiftly becoming globally iconic and for good reason; this creative visionary’s oil-painted surreal worlds are quite literally impossible to overlook.
Zhong Biao’s vivid, colorful paintings represent the experience of living through China’s rapid evolution from isolationism to an urbanized modern state. He works primarily with acrylic on raw canvas, blending realistic figures with surrealistic objects and abstract gestures. Zhong derives the dreamlike quality of his work from the multitude of unsettling juxtapositions of old and new in contemporary China.
