Lian Zhang

Lian Zhang (b. 1984, Hangzhou, China) lives and works in London and Hangzhou. Zhang received a Master degree in Painting from the China Academy of Art, Hangzhou in 2010, and a second Masters degree from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2013. Zhang’s works hint at multifaceted narratives that strain in many different directions at once, creating a current of tension that runs under an overlying sense of serenity. The past and the future are suspended, interweaving allusions to precise historical periods with timeless imagery. Zhang investigates the connections between interior and exterior worlds, constructing scenes both from personal memories and from imaginary landscapes.
