Gang Zhao at Bleich-Rossi – Art Forum Berlin



By the time I made it to the Bleich-Rossi booth, my blood sugar had dropped to dangerously low levels and my eyes were beginning to glaze over from looking at so much art. However, when I saw these works by Gang Zhao on the far wall, I immediately snapped back to attention. Usually when I think of Chinese art, images of Ming vases and Song Dynasty bowls come to mind. Today Chinese art commonly deals with themes of political, social, and economic changes in the country. I have been intrigued by the Contemporary Chinese art scene for a while now, but really haven’t seen anything that really got it right for me. Until now.

On display were two delicately designed and executed paper cut artworks by Gang Zhao. In these works, the compositions are reminiscent of propaganda posters and caricatures from another time. The forceful red color grabbed my attention, but the beauty and simplicity of the design drew me into the picture. I also found it thought provoking how the artist uses this delicate and fragile medium to depict social and political subjects that are so often the opposite in nature.

Like a good little LondonArtGirl, I did my research on the artist when I returned home. Even though they were not on display at the fair, I would be remiss not to mention Zhao’s oil paintings. Like his paper cuts, Zhao’s canvases are dominated by political subjects and themes. The painting included in this post is one of my favorites on the website. The three-person composition reads beautifully and the fragmented use of color effectively sets off and frames his figures. The work is accessible and easily appreciated even without knowing the historical context of the subject. With that said, I truly believe that understanding the intention and circumstance of a piece of art can only deepen your appreciation of it and enrich the viewing experience. Make sure you check out Gang Zhao at Bleich-Rossi at www.bleich-rossi.at. Not to be missed!
