Zhao Fang’s confrontational canvases unveil the truths about power struggle, the intricate relationships between humans, as well as the opposing contradictions we face in life. His work evokes conflict of emotions through the portrayal of silent yet graceful violence in contrast to the delicate harmony, beauty and integrated equilibrium of the work. In Fist Power Series No. 9A, Zhao Fang uses colourfully printed woven handiworks to complete the artwork’s secretive and sensual air. In the painting, the girl’s hand is invading the space of the male, and we cannot tell the female’s exact intention behind her action. Perhaps Zhao’s highly suggestive composition raises questions on the topic of temptation. Likewise, by confronting this beautiful hand, are we extricating ourselves from it, or submitting to the power of its suggestion? The ultimate answer is up to the viewer’s imagination.
Zhao Fang was born in 1972 and graduated from the Jilin Academy of Fine Arts. His works have met with accolades and popular acclaim, and was selected as one of the 30 top finalists of the Sovereign Asian Art Prize in 2007. Zhao has exhibited extensively and has already had two solos at Schoeni Art Gallery in 2006 and 2007.
