SUXING ZHANG B. 1988
Suxing Zhang (张素行) is a Chinese visual artist residing in Sydney. Zhang's artistic journey unfolds through figurative and portraiture paintings that blend classical techniques with contemporary sensibilities. With a focus on the interplay between time and static subjects, Zhang's work invites viewers to contemplate the enduring presence of nature amidst the passage of human culture.
“Suxing combined his two passions of painting and photography to make his artwork even more pleasant to the eye and to introduce an imaginative element to photography.” – Digital SLR Photography
“Suggestive Bilder voll impressionistischer Spannkraft: In Suxing Zhang’s metaphorisch aufgeladenen Porträts spiegeln sich seine Biografie wie seine Herkunft als Maler.” – DigitalPHOTO
