comunicato stampa

The gallery is proud to host famous Zhang Dali solo show with a very intense project (born in 1963 in Harbin, China and based in Beijing). As the visitor comes into the show he is facing Zhang Dali's gigantic, almost four meters high, painted portraits.

Zhang Dali's work actively engages with the rapidly changing environment in China. Zhang started working in portraiture as one of Beijing's first graffiti artists, spraying and carving heads into the walls of the hundreds of buildings scheduled for destruction. Working across a wide variety of media - from urban art, to archiving photographs of Mao, and large scale installations - Zhang's portraits document a contemporary social history of a culture in radical development and flux. Zhang trained at the Beijing Central Academy of Art & Design.
