ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES 艺术家简历

Peach Flower have unanimously carried with his literati sense and spirit.
Throughout Zhou Chunya's whole art career, there are three series of works that are most
representative: Rock, Green Dog and Peach Blossom. It is fair enough to say that he is a real
liberalist who dare to go beyond the bigger concept of history and social conditions because he
believes in life experience itself. As one of the most established artists who have been through
the Cultural Revolution, he kept his path different from the mainstream “Traumatic Art” at that
time. He feels pleasant to face this cruel world and represent it back to the public in a beautiful
and romantic way, bringing positiveness and satisfaction to life. However, at the same time,
his artwork shows a type of “mild violence” which reflect his resistance as an individual to the
society as a whole. As shown within his works about landscapes, lives and the human body,
there are metaphors of his personality as both a traditional Literator and a bold contemporary
artist.
