Catalogue Note

"Light is movement. Its course is never determined by chance, but by organic impulse. Zhu Dequn's technique is sophisticated and his emotions are strong. His masterful brush, perched between speed and control, begs to be remembered. Hand and eye face off with urgency. Regimented yet supple forms are born of bright, rich materials.The clarity of these internal worlds compresses material and sensory experience into one."
