Zheng Chongbin: Golden State
Zheng Chongbin: Golden State
Over the past four decades, Shanghai-born, Marin County–based artist Zheng Chongbin (b. 1961) has cultivated a unique practice that engages with the driving concepts and aesthetics of the Light and Space movement and East Asia’s tradition of ink painting. Educated in both traditional Chinese figurative painting and installation and performance art, Zheng synthesizes these seemingly disparate practices into unprecedented signature painting and video techniques. Zheng Chongbin: Golden State is a focused presentation that features two video installation pieces coupled with painted and printed works. Through abstract forms and distorted views of California’s natural landscape, Zheng explores water, light, and movement in his signature works.
