Zhang Zipiao: Heart of Anchor at Salon 94
Heading to Salon 94 I was trying to visualise what a painting of abstracted meat and flowers would look like. It certainly didn’t sound like something I would enjoy seeing, but it turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Zhang Zipiao’s first solo show in the US features 10 large-scale oil paintings that took my breath away when I walked into the gallery. The bright red, pink and green colour palette commands attention with huge sweeping strokes that give off an incredible amount of energy.
Zipiao was born in Beijing, China in 1993, she attended the Maryland College of Art and graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2015. Now living and working in Beijing, Zipiao is continuing to observe the common objects in her life and abstract them beautifully.
Zhang Zipiao: Heart of Anchor is on view at Salon 94 by appointment only until October 9th 2021.
