Zheng Chongbin: Golden State

Susanna Ferrell (Curatore)

Distributed Art Publishers, 2026

Bridging Chinese ink painting and Western installation art in dynamic works that engage with the agency of nature Published with Los Angeles County Museum of Art and INK Institute. Over the past four decades, Shanghai-born, California-based Chinese American artist Zheng Chongbin (born 1961) has cultivated a practice that engages with the concepts and aesthetics of the Light and Space movement and East Asian traditions of ink painting. Educated in both traditional Chinese figurative painting and installation and performance art, Zheng synthesizes these seemingly disparate practices. Published to accompany his largest US solo show to date, this book archives and probes the artist's deeply philosophical engagements with ink, light and the agency of nature, focusing on two video installation pieces coupled with painted and printed works. Through abstract forms and distorted views of California's natural landscape, Zheng explores water, light and movement. Featuring exhibition photography as well as shots from the artist's personal archive, this volume weaves together Zheng's artistic practice with his daily life in California.
