Zheng Chongbin

Zheng Chongbin (b. 1961) was educated as a classical Chinese figurative painter at the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou. In 1989, Zheng received a fellowship from the San Francisco Art Institute to study installation and conceptual art. 

 

Systematically exploring and deconstructing their conventions and constituents — figure, texture, space, geometry, gesture, materiality, Zheng has developed a distinctive body of work that makes the vitality of matter directly perceptible. Based on his study of phenomenology and the new materialism, Zheng Chongbin introduces his concepts into the field of installation and video. Painting, architecture, light, and space are kneaded together to embody a pure sense of materiality, which will ultimately be transformed into an experience of space.
