Lot Essay

“ZHANG Enli leaves aside the general social significance and aesthetics and is obsessed with his empty sphere with “gray scale”. He takes a close look at the joint point in its deepest level where social activity and the structure of system meets —— everyday life, and constructs the real scenarios on both spiritual and mental basis.” - Zhang Qing
