Jun Zhang

Jun Zhang(b.1981), was born in Hebei (Province). He graduated from Hebei University, currently lives and works in Beijing.

 

Jun Zhang constructs an eternally tranquil space that seems to be ‘muted’, using calm and restrained colors, a simulated vacuum environment, and ‘absolutely still’ plants, directing viewers’ attention to the perception of their own internal time. Here, the framework of linear time gradually dissolves, and an exploration into the dimensions of life begins to unfold.

 

This year, the plant forms in his work have further transcended the boundaries of naturalism. These images are not mere imitations of physical objects but represent anew visual language grounded in basic geometric elements, infused with the artist’s personal emotions. Through this approach, he metaphorically depicts the complex interplay of symbiotic relationships among humans in the contemporary context and the authentic texture of life experiences.
