Haiying Zhang

Zhang Haiying lives and works in Songzhuang Artist Village, Beijing, China.

Zhang Haiying is a Chinese artist who says "no" when it come to his country’s politics. Even in his Anti-Vice Campaign series, the painter was dedicated to opposing the Chinese government’s crackdown on prostitution. The artist didn’t want to draw up a file on decriminalization but as an artist wished to portray their frail humanity.

It was that minset that the painter invested himself in a new series wich moved away from the previous socio-political themes. In a constantly powerful style, the artist completely devoted his art work to women who, beneath the surface of beauty and luxury accessories are weighed down by a sense of shame.

Zhang Haying does not limit his work to classical contrasts between shade and light but uses subtle contrasts of posture, finery, decorum, bodies and souls.The artist is a Genius who reaches out to merge all paradoxes and judgements to benefit the Human kind, thanks to the impeccable combination between brush, heart and mind.
