"Zhou Zixi: A Stranger Called ZHOU Zixi" comprises 12 paintings showcasing the artist's distinctive "flowing" style. Deliberately using a mix of abundant oil and thin pigments for sketch-like painting, Zhou loosens the reins on his intricately painted "environmental dramas," reaching an unpredictable, even disruptive boundary. Although each piece depicts different scenes, they collectively portray marvelous and surreal dreamscapes: theaters and churches flooded with mudslides, black holes suddenly appearing in remote wildernesses and cities, a cup spontaneously pouring water in a living room in the afternoon... Thus, the artist's various series underscore the impossibility of replicating a series of chance events.
