Chen Zhang Hong was born in Yangjiang City, Guangdong province, China, in 1966. He graduated from the arts school of the Zhanjiang Normal University in 1988. After his graduation, he worked as an artist and arts teacher. Since 2005, he becomes a full time painter and currently resides in Yangjiang City.
Growing up in countryside of southern China has given him the most profound feeling and sensitivity to art. His dialogue with nature is carried out symbiotically through his works. For Chen Zhang Hong, there is nothing static in his approach, but rather an oscillation, a dynamic movement of nature. His paintings explore a philosophical and poetic side of life.
He takes technique seriously. He integrates Seurat's pointillist method to best represent a harmonious life. Each point, each dot, combines with his enviable energy, perseverance, passion, and he sees the beauty of nature.
Chen's works are collected by corporate and individual collectors in US, Europe and Asia.
Remarks by Art Critic
The Chinese contemporary art scene and the market for this work is still in its infancy. It has really just begun! I think the biggest challenge is for contemporary artists in China to continue making innovative and interesting work that stands apart from the crowd. Chen Zhang Hong's work has made the exploration of his own presence the subject of his art, ranging fom boat scenes, personage bodies to pointllist landscapes and light. His work is intimately connected with fundamental human experience.

His works synthesize a cosmic order of heaven, land, people, seemingly saying to the viewers - "What A Wonderful World."
