Zhang Xiaodong

ZHANG XIAODONG   张晓栋
(b. 1981 in Hebei Province, China)

Zhang Xiao Dong, is a Chinese artist whose hand-made books have been exhibited around the world, including at the 6th CODEX Book Fair and Symposium in California.

 

"...Zhao Xiaodong, goes beyond the simple technical data of paper cutting, using them as a pictorial medium and thus managing to create true works of art of intense and inspired beauty.

At first glance, his works leave one surprised and bewildered as they are not easily decipherable, whether they have elements of Tibetan and Buddhist culture as their subject or as, in my opinion, more pertinent abstract forms.

In fact, I find that the abstract-informal side of him is a new, brilliant, and strong path with a great visual impact and above all with a great poetic-evocative force.

Zhao Xiaodong like the great masters of the past manages, with his expressive language, to keep the tradition alive and thus, to enter into an existential union, with the silent poetry of the world..."   Vincenzo Sanfo
