©HdM GALLERYMost of Zheng Mengqiang's works are based on the emotions borne out of his experiences, experiences whence he can find inspiration out of personal memory and self-perception.
There is an exploration of poetic quality in his paintings. The original idea might come from the artist’s real life or from images of films; however, the way he deals with the instantaneous inspiration and emotion is quite restrained, which allows him to reorganize and refine the elements in the image after a long deliberation, creating an unrealistic but clear figure made of simplified shapes, clearly-defined color blocks which form an abstract and geometric composition. At the same time, a lot of refinements and simplifications are made within the choice of colors. The contrast among colors in his painting is faded, and the soft tones that are almost monochrome form a hazy mystery. This introverted and sensitive quality turn his works into examples of romantic realism.
©HdM GALLERYZheng Mengqiang tries to reproduce those memories that have disappeared in time but remain hidden in his sub-consciousness. Therefore, the characters, which normally act as the main body of the work, are often fixed in a frozen moment, revealing a sense of ambiguity as well as alienation, indicating signs of intimacy and vulnerability. The emotions in the paintings are so strong that they have their own dimension in the space; with a quiet and muted temperament, Zheng’s works depict the softness of human nature and the power of introspection.
