CONCEPT OF ARTWORK

For me, the process of painting is peaceful. No one can resist a world that can be reconstructed at will. I don't believe in deliberate curiosity. What I want from the world I build is peace and tranquillity, or just a moment in an imaginary refuge. And while yearning for this freedom, I realise at the same time that freedom is out of reach.

ABOUT ZHANG CHI (CHINA)

Zhang Chi graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and Renmin University of China. He has devoted himself to the study of classical Chinese painting and calligraphy. In his current works, decorative and repeated patterns are used to create totems - a metaphor for rights, discipline, and punishment in the ancient times - in order to construct the absurdity in the fictional world order.
