Zhang He’s oil paintings convey a visceral engagement with his natural surroundings. His bold, gestural brushstrokes demonstrate a unique physicality and spontaneity. Through a dynamic language of abstraction, the artist seeks to evoke the depth of human emotions.

Zhang is fuelled by the pursuit of the unknown and the unexpected, attempting to capture fleeting moments of beauty drawn from nature, the changing seasons, human relationships, and all living beings. His thickly textured, almost sculptural paintings communicate a sense of presence and immediacy that is both familiar and unpredictable, drifting between contentment and desire.
