The Zhou Brothers, the world renowned contemporary artists, will open their exhibition with their newest series of paintings titled "Time-Portrait of History" at the ZhouB Art center in Chicago, on April 22nd.
On January 18, 2011 the artists unveiled at the White House their most historical painting "The eight US Presidents and the Great Wall" to the President Barack Obama, as a national gift to His Excellency Hu Jintao, the President of China, on the occasion of the state visit to the White House.This painting was the first time in their artistic career where recognizable figures appear in their art.These figures are a stylistic representation of the eight American presidents who have governed since the opening of China's relationship with the U.S. by President Nixon in 1972. This rare honor instigated a refocusing of creative interest in their own personal history which triggered the shift in direction in their latest series.
Opening Reception: April 22, 2011, 6-10pm
