Zheng Chongbin was born in Shanghai and attended the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts to study Chinese Paintings, where he taught for four years after graduating in 1984. In 1989 he was awarded the first International Fellowship to further his training at the San Francisco Art Institute, acquiring his MFA in 1991. He currently resides in San Francisco but works between California and Shanghai. Traditionally trained in Chinese ink painting, Zheng began to explore the notion of abstraction in his works in the 1980s whilst studying in San Francisco. His works attempt to put the traditional medium of Chinese ink into a universal, contemporary artistic context. Zheng is interested to explore how Chinese ink reacts physically with rice paper; he often paints his large format works on the floor with a short, fat brush. Zheng applies brushstrokes repetitively in ink and acrylic, sometimes on both sides of the paper. His compositions are complex; sometimes involve collage and overlapping of paper. Influenced by the post-war American school of Abstract Expressionism, Zheng uses bold gestural strokes to create compositions that explore the interplay between black, white and the tonalities in between.
