Zhang’s main inspiration is drawn from nature. Zhang Shaozeng likes to observe things carefully and recapture their essence in his works.

He believes that careful observation is a sound way toward participation with the objects and with a scene. His memories of his childhood are filled with experiences of nature and natural scenes, including swimming fish, worms in the field and mushrooms on the mountainside.

 

His works call forth the essence of the natural objects he depicts.  In them one can see the complex surfaces of the rock face, the power and energy of the storm, the peace and movement of water.  In Zhang’s works, the beauty of color and the skill of technique have brought him to us as one of China’s finest emerging young print artists.
