This installment features Zeng Hong

曾宏从过去的艺术家那里获得灵感，他们创造了自己的美学词汇，以表达各自时代的社会和政治关切。他稀疏而优雅的作品构成了对抽象和线条的沉思，使人联想到书面符号。在形式层面上，它们唤起了人们对二十世纪中国社会主义工人阶级经历的怀念。

Zeng Hong draws inspiration from artists of the past who have created their own aesthetic vocabulary in order to articulate the social and political concerns of their respective times. His sparse, elegant compositions constitute meditations on abstraction and line, and are reminiscent of written symbols. On a formal level, they conjure a nostalgia for the working class experience of twentieth-century Chinese socialism.
