Zhang Li

Ancient Wonders

2001

Zhang Li is a member of the Chinese Association of Artists. He has won many national awards in China, including the Artist's Excellence Award at several different national exhibitions. Li’s talents are widely recognized in the US as well: he was recently awarded the Grand Prize for Best of Show in the American Society of Portrait Artists' International Portrait Competition. His concentration on portraiture allows him to focus on the emotional character of his subjects, and the broad emotional motifs are made starkly visible to the viewer because of Li's dedication to such exquisite detail. Many of his works are collected by the Chinese National Gallery and the Center of Chinese Art Interchange in Beijing. Li’s paintings have also been collected in the United States, England, France, Japan, Germany, Taiwan, Singapore, and Hong Kong, a fact that aptly illustrates the growing worldwide popularity that Li enjoys.
