Zhang Wei Guang, Breakfast, Oil on Canvas, 2007

Breakfast is an original oil on canvas realized by the chinese painter Zhang Wei Guang (Mirror) in 2007. Excellent conditions. Zhang Wei Guang, also called ‘mirror' was born in Helong Jang, China in 1968. He studied at the Haierbin Teacher University and at the Ruxun Art University. He exhibited his first solo shows in 1995 in Heilongjiang province. His first international solo show was in Boston in 2000. Having made a deep formative research about the cromatism of oil painting technique, the artist interprets the objects of the tradition through a ‘photographic' pictorial yield. His works are often still-life representations, like scenographic sets of flowers, painted potsherds and glass bowls, fruits. His little and medium size canvas show daily life objects, resting on tables of modern houses. The choice of diffuse and soft lights, with delicate and bright chromatic solutions, provides an atmosphere of silent and intimate harmony. Recovering the guohua Chinese tradition of the representation of landscape and the typical sino-intimateness of the pictorial floral decorations, his works celebrate the beauty of his culture. The art of composing is another typical element of the Chinese esthetic heritage that mirror, as shown by his artistic name, knows well and re-creates on canvas. The choice of still-life painting subjects let him perform a poetical research about the relations between the forms of daily life objects and their evocative color tones. His latest personal exhibition: his works are exposed at the china transfer. Mirror is working and living in Beijing and in the Heilongjiang province.
