Conversation with Zheng Chongbin and Stephen Little
Join us in a conversation between artist Zheng Chongbin and Stephen Little, curator and head of the Chinese and Korean Art Department, as they discuss Zheng's work and LACMA's recent acquisition, Turbulence, which was generously gifted by Stephen O. Lesser, a longtime member of the East Asian Art Council.
When:
December 18, 2014 5:30pm to 8:00pm
Where
Deeply influenced by the West Coast’s Light and Space movement, Zheng Chongbin’s practice encompasses biomorphic abstraction, abstract painting that use carbon-based ink and synthetic acrylic, in addition to large-scale light and space installations, and video works. He is a pioneer and leader of the movement known as “contemporary ink.” Zheng’s work embraces both Chinese ink-painting traditions and contemporary art practice, creating a fresh dialogue between the two modes of working through his personal experience of living between Shanghai and the Bay Area. Born in Shanghai in 1961, Zheng Chongbin received rigorous training at the Chinese Painting Department of the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (now the China Academy of Fine Arts) and the San Francisco Art Institute.
