Zhang Fangbai

de Beate Reifenscheid

Zhang Fangbai, whose art is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese painting, has developed his own unique visual language, which makes due with only a few emblematic forms. These reflect the artist's spiritual search, which can also be understood in the Western art world. In his reduction of means, as well as in his individual, powerfully expressive brushstrokes, the spirituality of earlier generations of artists reveals itself in a contemporary form. Exhibition: Ludwig Museum, Koblenz, Germany (29.07. - 12.08.2018).
