Named one of Modern Painters "25 Artists to Watch" in 2014, Zhao Zhao wowed the arts community with his multidisciplinary involvement in photography, painting, installations and performance art, and a mastery in parsing events into pieces that challenge idiosyncratic sensitivities. Untitled. Duchamp (2013) created at the commission of Ullens Center for Contemporary Art, Again (2012-13), and the fridge in Project Taklamakan (2016) powerfully attest to Zhao’s sharp insight, passion, ingenuity and extraordinary execution skills for modern art creations. In 2014, Zhao Zhao appeared in the 19th Biennale of Sydney as an up-and-coming modern Chinese artist. He also showed his pieces in the Yokohama Triennale 2017 with many international artists, attracting further attention.
Constellation series (2013) shows a cracked wind shield created by bullet holes. The impact from the explosion by the bullet expands outward, and the cracks spread like a galaxy of stars, fascinating the artist into recreating the image as an oil on canvas; the crime scene is re-fabricated into a serene Constellations (Lot 284). The instantaneous impact is brought to life by Zhao Zhao with Prussian blue and titanium dioxide, reminiscent of the radioactive lines in Sunflowers by van Gogh - an imagery that hovers between violence and illusion.
