Artwork Appreciation
ZHANG Cyong-Fang is adept at transforming fleeting excerpts of life into paintings of riotous color.
Zhang’s painting Dance in the Woods typifies her creative technique, repeatedly layering colors of high saturation and brightness to imitate the messy lines of children’s paintings. In this piece, she paints numerous bizarre figures to create an image filled with interesting forms.
Zhang’s keen powers of observation of the things around her enable her to present the scenes of ideal paradise that she imagines in her mind.
