ZENG Hong
b. 1974
Zeng Hong was born in Ziyang, Sichuan in 1974. He graduated from the Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts. Now lives and works in Beijing. The experiences of collectivist factory life permitted his unique way of expression. When depicting architecture and “publicized personal spaces,” the artist used a working method similar to technical drawing, visually and psychologically representing the tension between creation and repetition, vitality and captivity, monotony and richness.
Recent major exhibitions include: Zeng Hong: Another Day, REFLEXION, Beijing (2025); tone, REFLEXION, Beijing (2024); Walking Guide, Long March Space, Beijing (2023); Cloud Sculpture_Three Spaces, Song Art Museum, Beijing (2023); Patchwork Leviathan, Bridge Projects, Los Angeles, USA (2020); Cloud Sculpture_Three Spaces, Song Art Museum, Beijing (2023); Patchwork Leviathan, Bridge Projects, Los Angeles, USA (2020); Hungry Geography, Taikang Space, Beijing (2019); Factory, Machine, and Poet’s Words—Real Light and Shadow in Art, Building A07, 798 Art District, Beijing (2019); Happy People, Zhongjian Art Museum, Beijing (2019); Fortress, One-Way Gallery, Beijing (2018); Zeng Hong Solo Exhibition: Quanderni Rossi, Ginkgo Space, Beijing (2018); Zeng Hong Solo Exhibition: Unknown Form, Yang Gallery, Beijing (2017); Zeng Hong Solo Exhibition: Key-Frame Extraction, Telescope, Beijing (2015); Zeng Hong Solo Exhibition, Yang Gallery, Beijing (2015); Zeng Hong Solo Exhibition, Boers-Li Gallery, Beijing (2012).
