Intricate design & detail are what take control of Zhuang Hong Yi's compositions to assemble and convey the manifestation of movement and kinetic energy, as he delicately constructs tulips from rice paper to replicate a flower bed, reminiscent of those that annually bloom in the Netherlands; Zhuang integrates Western and Eastern aesthetics that consistently contemplate a floral motif. His discipline is therefore deeply rooted within his environment: the discerning underlying tension between tradition and freedom in the East and West.

RSVP TO ATTEND  

Born in 1962 in Sichuan Province, China, Zhuang Hong Yi lives and works between The Netherlands & Beijing. ​​The flower motif dominates Zhuang Hong Yi's work - a significant image in Chinese culture which carries countless meanings and emotions yet with equally strong associations with the Netherlands, world-famous for its flowers - and he works patiently and religiously on this subject year after year, intricately crafting his works with care and forethought. Zhuang's well-known and highly collected 'flower bed' works are crafted from delicate pieces of painted rice paper, which he has bent and folded into hundreds of tiny buds.

His simplistic medium of delicate rice paper, strategically placed achieves a highly decorative, elusively enhancing floral fabrication. 

Correlating colours that subtly shift in variation skilfully aid a sense of movement of not just the eyes but the body of the viewer as they move from side to side.
