About the artwork
Besides striking visuals, Zheng Yong’s technique highlights his artistic skill and mastery of brushwork and composition. Instilling expression into both colour and stroke, the palpable meaning in his works communicates far beyond the façade of poised perfection, unraveling the quagmire that resides within every being—the source from where all light must emerge. His works are an equilibrium between happiness and sadness, life and death and confusion and enlightenment.
