THE ARTIST ONLINE www.zyxart.com

zhang works exercise a spell deeply versed In technique: his hand responds
to his heart's understanding in a tall building or great mansion that Is
merged into a forest. It Is lightly and easily raised In a contract signed In
People’s minds and as a matter of course has People’s feet trampling their
heads away. When we penetrate these paintings, it is as lf we can all hear
zhang Yanxiang's mocking, sneering laughter. His hatred and vengefulness,
expressed In calm gesture and even tones, are carved on our bones and
Inscribed In our hearts. Beauty has intimately sunken away from this world
and by means of so called “progress” slips Into the century’s lying happy
countenance. People will never again see those spider webs and book
prints that are already worth believing. There is only the back of a head
covered with fingerprints and the hallucination of an artist whose face
has been entirely hatred. These resolutely make People feel the victory
of mechanical rationality and the guilt of unavoidable destruction. How
should they regard this? Perhaps they will regard as still continuing?
Or will they hope to reach the pinnacle of Heaven. go there to receive the
gift of compassion? Not go there to be judged?
