Shedding light on Zeng's ambitious practice of redefining the abstract, this book features two recent bodies of work--oil paintings and works on handmade paper. Emerging from the artist's decades of research in color theory, Zeng's new oil paintings draw on and challenge Impressionist and pointillist practices, with layers of brushwork creating figurative elements that are readily recognizable from afar but dissolve when viewed up close. In a world inundated with machine-rendered images, Zeng's boundary-pushing experiments inspire viewers to experience the beauty and time-honored art and craft of painting. Zeng's works on handmade paper, rendered in ink, graphite, chalk, gold dust and other mineral pigments, point to a new direction in his practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book was published in conjunction with Los Angeles County Museum of Art.\u003c\/b\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 292\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 x 12.5 x 9.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461108449533,"sku":"9781636811789","price":92.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/SHxQxgaTKq9781636811789.webp?v=1777256709","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/zeng-fanzhi-near-and-far-now-and-then-hardcover","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
