Zhu Hong (Shanghai ,1975) lives and works in Nantes. She moved to France to study art at ENSA of Dijon in counterpoint to her classical painting training in Shanghai.

Zhu Hong has a fascination for light and an intuitive ability to capture its essence in her drawings and paintings. The ultrafine delicacy of her works brings the eye to a level of heightened attention, inviting the viewer to make an effort to distinguish an image between the opaque and the glossy.

Zhu Hong is actively engaged in making and publishing artist’s books; her most recent book 3M2 de lumière was published by Lienart Éditions, Paris in 2017, and is available at the gallery.

French art critic Éva Prouteau wrote a beautiful text about Zhu Hongs recent work. You can download the integral text (in french) here.
