Zhang Dali: Under the Sky

Pékin Fine Arts (Hong Kong) is pleased to present Zhang Dali’s latest cyanotypes and figurative sculpture on exhibit for the first time in Hong Kong. Zhang Dali, China’s most well known graffiti artist, stopped tagging buildings marked for demolition and construction in 2006. Today, he continues his fascination with the immediacy of the street, using a variety of mediums, including photography, cyanotype, resin and fiberglass life-size body-cast sculpture. In Beijing and throughout Asia, economic reality and government policy work together to push city dwellers away from traditional homes at street level into high- rise concrete apartment blocks. Artists including Beijing-based Zhang Dali record this remarkable transformation, with outrage, concern, helplessness, and finally, wry resignation.
