Zhang Huan: In the Ashes of History

This short documentary archives Zhang Huan’s first solo exhibition in the State Hermitage Museum in September 2020, co-hosted by Pearl Lam Galleries. The exhibition featured more than 30 works from four different series: Ash Paintings, Memory Doors, Love /Reincarnation series, and the installation of the Hermitage Buddha, highlighting Zhang’s consistent use of unconventional materials and techniques through works that convey his aesthetic judgment and social critique.

Congratulations to Pearl Lam for this stunning exploit. Hopefully Zhang's works will me exposed physically all over the world. Great art indeed. To a certain extent, Zhang's work reminds me Anselm Kiefer's, notwithstanding his profound rootedness in Buddhism. What further proof of the universality of his work is needed?
