About Zhang Enli
The Shanghai-based artist Zhang Enli was born in Jilin, China, in 1965. One of China’s most important contemporary artists, he works with everyday objects — a piece of string, a length of pipe, an electric wire, some marbles — magnifying them into unique, dreamlike compositions that mirror the world around us and reflect his love of nature. Informed by traditional Chinese ink paintings, the artist’s expressive lines and curves, muted tones, and loose washes distill the essence of his subjects with a singular and visionary artistic language. Zhang Enli’s works have been featured in numerous major exhibitions, most recently “A Room That Can Move” at the Power Station of Art in Shanghai (2020). He has exhibited internationally at museums and galleries such as the Galleria Borghese in Rome (2019), Hauser & Wirth in New York (2018), and the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London (2013).
