ZHANG HE

A journey through Zhang’s oeuvre reveals that the process

of lavishly and freely applying oil to canvas is what matters

to this artist. But this expressive execution is preceded by

an equally important vision. The motif of the floral still life is

the genesis of Zhang’s composition: life, love, beauty.

These ideas have propelled Zhang He to again create the

most compelling and novel paintings, which will surely

inspire you as much as they do us.

Rafael Wagner

Abstraction for me is very individualistic; each stroke has

to do with something within me, the Yin and the Yang.

The colours I use depend on my state of mind, my emotions,

and the energy of life. ~ Zhang He
