The show presents the artist's recent works, from 2008 to 2009, including prints on steel plates, sculptures and installations.
Since his earlier works, Zhang Xiaogang never ceased the traces left by history in one's soul and memory. In this new works, Zhang through employing some unique materials join together "landscape", "object", "self", and scars, collective icons, as well as journal entries, which all carried historical and memorial meanings. He uses new artistic forms to further deepen the subject of "history and contemporary". In other new works, Zhang creatively combines thoughts and form, continuing the tradition of writing poems on paintings.
