May 22-28: Tranquility
Artist Zhang Jian’s latest solo exhibition – the artist’s first in China in 10 years – presents work from his ‘Daily Scenery’ series. Using different techniques, the works take on a more abstract form than Zhang’s previous work. By using wild brush strokes and vivid colors, Zhang focuses more on conveying mood, rather than detail. Rural and urban scenes form the subjects of his work, yet they are simply drawn and illustrated in a notably impressionist style.
Through May 28, Tue-Sun, 10am-6pm; PIFO Gallery.
