Exhibition Preface

Zhang Chuang's oil painting skills was trained professionally in the college, and later on advanced with Professor Alexander Claudy in Rome Fine Art Academy in Italy, which was deeply influenced by European classic oil painting and impressionist arts. In recent years, he brought back thousands of photographs of the original masterpieces during his visits in European museums, which is a good example of how dedicated he is in the professional training.
Not only in his painting, ZhangChuang tries to be creative, but also in the technics, he pay close attention to the graphic expression, using lines, composition, decoration to present a sense of lightness and the freshness. He doesn't want to merely inherit the modularized traditional style and technique, he want to create something new with his own eyes, his own heart, something totally from himself. From his painting, we can see that he intentionally weakens the contrast of colors, instead using almost neutralized harmonious colors, but take great emphasis on his favorite usage of the lines, I love the classic complication usage of lines, but he adds modern elements in other areas, like large close-ups, emphasizes graphic composition, which makes his art works looks new and trendy.

He's painting object the young people, he rendered their clothes carefully, cool style, lot of pockets, loose pants, with the implanting of these contemporary fashion elements, it sets the unique character of aesthetic interests, ingeniously mingles traditional classics and contemporary elements, seamless, which makes his work traditional and contemporary, possesses charm of the eastern style and classical technique from the west. Such is the experiment of 'localization' created by himself, and that's the direction he pursues. Even though the new experiment is still premature, even though like many new things, it takes time and can be difficult to the agreed and excepted by many, he insists with strong belief in mind. With many years of experience and experiment, his unique style has established, like the lotus blossom alone, with delicate fragrance, very evocative. His works are highly recognizable among the ocean of many paintings, that is ZhangChuang's style.
