Emma Zhang

Zhang is a purist - in thought, technique, composition and materials. Zhang’s work seems purely monochromatic, but upon closer inspection there are a network of layers, typography, subtle tonal shifts and textures. They are in understated combinations which encourage the viewer to take time to explore and enjoy the work.
Zhang’s work turns out to hold a surprising, pleasurable challenge. Viewers are invited to tune into the work and – in effect – complete it for themselves. Once they have snuck into the viewers’ inner eye, they will probably stay there as welcome guests.
