Overview

This painting is from the series Groundless, 2011―2012, in which buoys, ears and shoes float above a dark mauve or black background. In these works, Zhang Hui continues his performative exploration of time and space, moving from banal objects to the stuff of dreams.

Happy New Year

As part of Zhang’s considerations on paint, the colour black has become an important presence in his work.
