Kaiqin Zhang was born in Kun Ming, Yunnan province, China mainland, currently working in the art department of Shenzhen Public Art Center (also known as Shenzhen Sculpture Academy).

The interaction between humans and the connection human beings with nature have always been the focuses of her works. Simplicity, calmness along with observing the excited surroundings with kindness and humor are the key components of her style. Her works have always reflected the constant conversation with the immediate surroundings, never put up objection to other elements and humans within the same environment. On the contrary, they oftentimes become part of the works and their spontaneous behaviors from time to time bring inspiration and good surprises to the works. After her touching the nature art first time in Korea with Yatoo, this field have been inspiring her and her art works deeply.

Her installation works have been part of many contemporary art exhibits in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan etc. Her media work has entered the Washington Project for the Arts 2011 Experimental Media Series.

After studying in the States, she returned to Shenzhen and immersed herself in the public art field. She’s participated and completed many big-scale public art projects commissioned by government, and studied public art system.

 

Her current focus is on the Shenzhen local area. She’s working with local curators, artists and professionals in various fields, to explore the potential of public art’s development in the area.
