The style of art that Zeng is currently producing, as exhibited at the Gagosian.
In the Caochangdi District of Beijing lie
the studios of many of China’s big art stars (including that of Ai Weiwei, as
previously mentioned). We were kindly invited to the studio of Zeng Fanzhi for
a meeting with his studio manager Caspar, and a good nose around!
Zeng Fanzhi is a Chinese art superstar as
one of Asia’s most financially successful artist. His painting Mask Series 1996 No.6 set a world record
in May 2008 when it sold for $9.6million at auction in Hong Kong. Zeng Fanzhi
has shown his work in many major exhibitions such as at the Singapore Art
Museum, Fundacian Godia in Barcelona, as well as at the Rockbund Art Museum in
Shanghai. In 2009, Zeng also participated in the Bienalle di Venezia. Gagosian
Britannia Street is currently exhibiting his works in a solo show focusing on
Zeng’s paintings inspired by German Renaissance Master Albrecht Dürer (ending January 19th).
