Zhang Peng (; 1981) is an artist based in Beijing. Zhang was born in Shandong, China. He graduated from Wu Zuo Ren Art Secondary School in Beijing in 2001, and from the Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing in 2005. He has a background in painting but has increasingly embraced photography.〔(Ch’ng Yaohong’s Asian Photography Blog )〕 His work centres on images of young girls in deceptively innocent settings.〔(TsaiGallery.com )〕 He is an innocent and courageous artist who intends to capture the truths and contradictions of this world in his art.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artinasia.kr/content/view/57/33/ )〕 Images of his work have appeared in Newsweek, The New York Times online and have appeared on the covers of numerous art magazines. He has recently exhibited at the Museum Of Contemporary Art in Shanghai, the Chosun Ilbo Museum in Seoul, and is the youngest artist in the inaugural Chinese Contemporary exhibition of the new Saatchi Museum in London.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://artradarjournal.com/2008/11/06/emerging-chinese-artist-zhang-peng-has-first-solo-show-in-new-york-gallery-eli-klein-art2bank/ )〕 ==Photography== Zhang Peng changed his art from painting to photography in 2006. When asked why he converted to photography, the artist replied, "There is no special reason. When I changed my genre from painting to photography, many people were just like you. They were curious as to why I changed my media so suddenly and kept asking me why. However, all I wanted was to express many thoughts and emotions in my mind through more diversified means."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artinasia.kr/content/view/57/33/ )〕 He feels that photography can capture the moment of an event, while painting offers only a limited time to express all of ones thoughts. He makes flawless compositions, carefully arranged as theater sets and elaborately controls the lighting effects to create dramatic scenes. Computer manipulations are also used to make abnormally big eyes and slender bodies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artinasia.kr/content/view/57/33/ )〕 The red used in Zhang Peng's paintings and full-color photographs symbolize "either China itself or blood. As the national economy grows, each individual within it becomes relatively small. Red implies the meaning of this duality."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.artinasia.kr/content/view/57/33/ )〕 He doesn't use red in his recent black-and-white photographs, but the omission of it seems to add brutality and subtlety to those pieces. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Zhang Peng (artist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
