CATALOGUE NOTE

"On a breezy afternoon of a bright summer's day, I ride towards Chang An street on my bike, beholding carefree moments of tranquility on the quiet journey." Through the use of a simple everyday scene and a smooth textural rendering of soft, subtle tones, Zhang Jian reveals to us his attitude towards life in an ever so subtle and gentle manner. His pictures convey the sheer sense of comfort and joy of living. Viewing his work can be likened to reading a short heart-warming essay, offering an experience filled with comforting sensations.
