Beijing Girl: August 4 - August 19, 2009
The Beijing Girl series considers the depiction of the female image in both contemporary and historical Chinese culture. The Girls series are often city or region specific, (the previous paintings were based on Guangzhou girls). In this show the new Beijing muse will be hung side by side with Zhongs other major subject the Australian landscape many of which have been Wynn Prize finalists, and acquired by Macquarie Bank and other important collections.
Both change and continuity are evident in this new work while Chens approach has evolved to bold, gestural canvases, beyond the pixel paintings that brought him his earliest recognition, he has continued to work in the portrait and landscape genres and to explore historical and contemporary aspects of Chinese culture
