Paintings that resemble natural structures ranging from neurons,to blood vessels.

Throughout his career of three decades, Zheng Chongbin (b. 1961, Shanghai) has held the classical Chinese ink tradition and Western pictorial abstraction in productive mutual tension.  ZHENG Chongbin. Zheng Chongbin (b. 1961, Shanghai, China) lives and works in San Francisco and Shanghai. ... A decisive shift came in 1989 when he was awarded an international fellowship at the San Francisco Art Institute where he was to study for the next two years, acquiring his Masters of Fine Art in 1991.
Maintaining his commitment to painting, Zheng Chongbin has extended his conceptual explorations into the media of installation and video. His landmark light-and-space installation Wall of Skies (2015) consists of a complex folded structure fully enclosed by a tilted ceiling and slanted walls, creating a delicate interplay of nonparallel lines and planes. Resolving neither into painting, nor sculpture, nor pure light and space, it insists on its material presence even as its objecthood is dissolved in a spatial experience. In his video installations, Zheng represents processes of nature—from molecular and cellular to topographical and climatic—in the scale of human perception through microscopic and macroscopic imagery and accompanying soundscapes, unfolding these processes spatially and temporally. Zheng Chongbin was educated as a classical Chinese figurative painter at the elite China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, where he taught for four years after graduation in 1984. Acclaimed as one of China’s preeminent young experimental ink painters in the 1980’s, he mounted his first solo exhibition at the Shanghai Museum of Art in 1988. In 1989, he received a fellowship from the San Francisco Art Institute to study installation, performance, and conceptual art, receiving his MFA in 1991. A resident of the San Francisco Bay Area for over three decades, Zheng is inspired by the region’s distinctive atmospheric and environmental effects and rich ecologies, as well as by the California light and space movement.
