Portrait of Tree 树的肖像, SU Chang 苏畅, 2014, Iron 铁, D 78x20cm, E / 5
In the latest West Bund Art & Design Fair, SU Chang’s project TREE was pretty eye-catching. The strong steel branches stretch freely to the sky, with the iron rust creeps from inside out, like the print of time spread endlessly on the white plaster. In the exhibition HABBITS the audience will have the chance to see other works of this series.

Portrait of Wall is a series he started 3 years ago. The pieces displayed this time are relatively large. With the language of simple white plasters, he presents walls that are covered with ordered ceramic tiles in order, naked after mosaic falls, exposed to rain and sun, full of cracks etc. Besides, there are some other works that remind the audience to re-examine the daily objects surrounding them. These plants, architects, objects created by SU Chang are not only reflections of the unconscious behaviour and thinking in urban life, but also discussions on the forming of aesthetic habits and its relationship with thinking modes. SU Chang was born in 1985 in Songjiang, Shanghai. After graduating from oil painting department of Shanghai Normal University in 2007, he works and lives in Songjiang, Shanghai.

It is the second cooperation bent ZHENG Huan and Don Gallery after the 2011 project “IF…”. And this time, he is going to show his series Settlings in the River of Language, which employs books as the basic element. Departing from the form of book, reader’s mind-sets, their way of thinking and things that are self-evident, ZHENG aims to shake the familiarity and recognition to book and makes it problematic. ZHENG Huan was born in 1983 in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province. He graduated from sculpture major of Shanghai Normal University in 2006. And he currently works and lives in Shanghai.
