His work Diamond Sutra in 32 Zhuan (Seal) Fonts. CHINA DAILY

Zhang's pieces are arranged like that in a slow meditation. The first, Vital Impulse, greets visitors with flowing lines that suggest trees and rippling water.

"Inspired by Taoist philosophy, it captures how all things — sorrow, joy, decay, renewal — move in endless cycles," the 44-year-old artist explains. "Eventually, everything returns to stillness. The idea of impermanence and peace moves me."

Vital Impulse is followed by a sequence of works, including early spring scenes and a dreamy blend of reds and pinks. Collectively, they reflect Zhang's first impressions of the courtyard and his broader meditations on time, places, and spirit.

Guan Hao, general manager of the hotel where the exhibition is held, describes the show as a deep exploration of Eastern culture's contemporary spiritual essence.

"It presents a powerful dialogue between tradition and modernity and what is hidden and revealed," Guan says. "It strikes a finely tuned balance between avant-garde creativity and local cultural grounding."

Zhang's work stands out for its visual impact and living, breathing quality.
