Zhang Huan, Poppy Field No.5, 2010, Collectie De Heus-Zomer
De tentoonstelling brengt de verschillende standpunten van kunstenaars naar voren. Deze artistieke houdingen vormen samen een veelzijdig beeld van de hedendaagse kunstontwikkelingen in Beijing, met Shanghai als de hoofdstad van de Chinese kunst.
Achtergrondinformatie:
Poppy Fields features a series of vividly colored, oil on linen paintings that are uniquely intimate in scale and nature comparted the artist’s iconic large-scale Ash paintings and monumental sculptures. Zhang Huan employs a thick impasto technique and all-over style that engulfs the surface of each Poppy Field painting.
Observed at a distance, each work presents a mesmerizing field of candy-colored pink, teal, lilac and sand, which appears to pulsate with energy. Only upon closer inspection does each burst of color transform from the abstract into figurative. Tiny faces with round eyes and wild Cheshire grins become evident in close view, a reference to ancient Tibetan dance masks.
Skulls are a recurring image in Zhang Huan’s work and stem from the artist’s early explorations in performance, inspired by the body and human form. In 2007, the artist completed his Skull series, large-scale paintings made of incense ash collected from sites of Buddhist ritual and ceremony. Many paintings were titled Renaissance in reference to Buddhist philosophies of rebirth rather than the finality of death.
