ZENG Hong
b. 1974
ZENG Hong (b. 1974, Ziyang, Sichuan) Currently lives and works in Beijing.His multifaceted practice encompasses painting, installation, and moving image. Zeng focuses on the situatedness of art within spatial and social frameworks, understanding a work’s meaning as produced through the interplay between its spatial environment and historical context. For him, the artist’s primary task is to stay attuned to the real while imbuing the work with a palpable presence. His recent work is concerned with navigating the interstices between image, readymade, and lived reality, probing them for the fissures and possibilities latent therein.
