"Idea Generator," a Talk + Workshop with artist Xi Zhang

Join us for an Artist Talk and Art Workshop with Xi Zhang

Explore the emotional depth and visual complexity of Strings: A Chance to Say Goodbye, Xi Zhang’s evocative exhibition that blurs the boundaries between inner experience and external reality.

In this talk, Zhang will discuss how consciousness and emotion shape perception, guiding us through fictionalized environments where psychological states manifest as physical landscapes. Drawing from both Chinese ink traditions and Western abstraction, Zhang’s painterly language blends translucent washes with visceral mark-making to reflect the layered nature of emotion and memory.

He will share insights into his creative process and the role of psychology and personal narrative in shaping his work.

In the “Idea Generator” workshop, Zhang will guide attendees through the process of creating an art project. 

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the artist and gain a deeper understanding of the themes behind his powerful visual storytelling.
