(Drivebycuriosity) - Seven years ago the Chinese artist Zhao Zhao suffered a serious accident where his head hit the windshield of his car. Since then the painter uses this traumatic incident as inspiration for his works which show a fascination with powerful forces and violent impacts.
Powerful Forces And Violent Impacts
According to the press release Zhao Zhao limitted his palette to Prussian blue, Van Dyck brown and white and used brushes that range in scale from the largest available to the smallest consisting only of two or three wolf hairs. I am fascinated by the idea and the masterly skills the artist demonstrates. According to the gallery Zhao Zhao "paints canvases of considerable scale by using a technique appropriate for a miniaturist".
The pics here - shot with a humble Samsun camera - can only give a faint impression. If you can make it, a visit there is highly recommended.
Enjoy!
