Zhang Enli
Zhang Enli was born 1965 in Jilin Province, China, is a professional artist living and working in Shanghai. He graduated from the Arts & Design Institute of Wuxi Technical University, China in 1989, and teaches at the Arts and Design Institute of Donghua University.Zhang Enli’s work is heavily marked by the personal transition and move he made 20 years ago from the provincial town of Jilin in the north of China to Shanghai. By focusing on ordinary objects and the everyday in his work, the artist represents the contrast between the small city and the sprawling metropolis - between two differing states of mind and environment.
Unlike many of his Chinese contemporaries, Zhang Enli’s practice does not bear relation to consumer criticism, ‘Political Pop’, ‘Kitsch Art’, or ‘Cynical Realism’ that emerged from China during the art boom of their post-socialist society in the 1990s, but instead focuses on the familiar and often overlooked everyday objects and environments the artist encounters on a daily basis, viewed from a unique perspective.
Contemporary Art
Contemporary art or modern art is the art of today and is produced by artists living in this era of the twenty-first century. It is a reflection of society and issues relevant to ourselves, and the world around us. Contemporary art is a dynamic combination of concepts that challenge traditional boundaries and is a part of a cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural identity, family, community, and nationality.
Below is a gallery of some of the most famous paintings from the artist:
