Zhuang Hong Yi Curriculum
Zhuang Hong Yi uses traditional Chinese materials to create pieces referencing Western Impressionism, combining a reflection on his own cultural heritage with the influence of two decades in Holland.
A Chinese contemporary artist who has impressed audiences worldwide with his unique artistic style, Zhuang Hong Yi creates works which represent beauty, sophistication, and perfection while demonstrating a strong Chinese influence in the choice of materials, colors, themes, and forms.
The seamless and graceful blend of Chinese and Western cultural influences in Zhuang Hong Yi's work reflects his upbringing and education in China followed by years of European experience and inspiration since his move to the Netherlands in 1990, where he has settled with his artist wife, Luluo. Even after decades of living in Europe, Zhuang Hong Yi maintains a studio in Beijing, where he returns a few times each year to work, collecting new materials and inspirations.
Zhuang Hong Yi creates large-scale fields of petals on canvas by manipulating thousands of rice paper flowers and combining them with monochromatic or polychromatic layers of acrylic and oil paint. From a distance, the observer can admire the resulting swaths of color, but from a closer vantage point the meticulous twisted paper flowers and layers of paint take center stage. These three-dimensional works are unique expressions of the combination of two different cultures: Chinese materials paired with elements of Western Impressionism.
He has collaborated with the Liquid art system since 2011.
