张汲的艺术创作注重于提取古代宗教建筑里的图案,作为指向绘画抽象性的一个媒介物,以颜料浮雕的方式替代笔触,用反绘画的语言以类似物理实验的方式,提炼出一种不是绘画的绘画。早在学院教育期间,张汲除了接受系统化的学院训练外,也曾在多处考古遗址和博物馆进行实地考察。作为一名佛教徒,张汲曾游学敦煌,并在著名的千佛洞研究壁画;随后又亲身走访世界各地的诸多宗教建筑,以切身感受的方式来完善自己的艺术创作,他的很多作品都基于自己的实地拍摄或现场素描。艺术家自身的宗教信仰无疑激发了他对宗教艺术的社会学思考和兴趣;另一方面,西方的现代艺术,比如从杜尚、皮耶罗·曼佐尼,再到20世纪60年代的纽约概念主义,均对他的艺术创作产生深刻影响。


Born in 1978 in Shandong, he graduated with a master’s degree from the Mural Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2008. Currently, he lives and works in Beijing.

Zhang’s art creation focuses on taking motifs from ancient religious architecture and referencing them through abstract painting. He replaces traditional brushstrokes with paint reliefs painstakingly created with a custom-made industrial pneumatic injector. The artist uses a language that opposes painting in a manner akin to physical experimentation, and distils a form of painting that defies conventional notions of the art form. During his college education, in addition to receiving systematic academic training, Zhang also conducted fieldwork at various archaeological sites and museums. As a Buddhist, Zhang travelled to Dunhuang and studied murals in the renowned Thousand Buddha Caves; he then visited multiple religious architectural sites around the world to enhance his art creation through firsthand experiences. Many of his works are derived from his on-site photography or sketches. The artist’s own religious belief undoubtedly sparked his sociological contemplation and interest in religious art. On the other hand, modern art in the west, ranging from Duchamp and Piero Manzoni to 1960s New York conceptualism, has also profoundly inspired his art.
