Zhang Peng 張鵬 ( 1981, China)

Born in 1981, Zhang Peng is a talented young artist who graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. Having been awarded many prizes for his paintings, his work, be it his oils or photography take young, vulnerable women and girls as its central theme. There is a profound sense of sorrow and empathy that is evoked in his haunting images of little girls sitting timidly on richly-colored settees. Their indescribable expressions of hurt and vulnerability leave the viewer unsettled, disconcerted and heavy hearted.
