Zhang Yanzi is never satisfied with her existing art styles. Her art has experienced several steps of transformation since her last solo exhibition at the Shanghai Art Museum in 2010. What is rare and indeed deserving of praise is that the spirit of her art has kept its honesty and sincerity. Through those changes, we see the artist’s clear sequence of thoughts. 

From her first solo show, we saw a female artist with subtle observation—her art reflecting a more direct expression of her feeling toward life. For this show, it is no wonder that in the Register Series, the Analgesic Plaster Series or Qi , we will see the artist has stepped out from her personal vision, and shows her deep concerns about the social and human subject. Interestingly, her concern of the subject has been expressed in a subtle and unique way, just like a needle, might hit at viewers’ certain acupoints inadvertently. The exhibition will present Zhang Yanzi’s latest works in the last three years.
