Zhao Yongchang

China

Yong Chang Zhao is a contemporary Chinese artist known for his innovative exploration of oriental modeling language in his artwork. Born in 1992 in China, Zhao graduated from the School of Sculpture and Public Art at the China Academy of Art. Throughout his career, he has received numerous accolades, including the Excellence Award at the 8th Zhejiang Youth Art Exhibition, the Hong Kong Youth Design Award (YDA), and the Silver Award for China Academy of Art Graduation Creation and Lin Fengmian Creation Award.

Zhao's work has been exhibited widely across China and has been featured in prominent contemporary art fairs such as the 7th Shanghai Youth Art Fair, Art Shanghai International Fair, Art Suzhou, Art Xiamen, and Art Shenzhen. His art is deeply influenced by the oriental aesthetic temperament, particularly the concept of "circle" found in classical oriental sculptures. This influence is evident in his emphasis on lines and shapes that reflect a "circular" wisdom, embodying a harmonious and continuous flow.

In his sculptures, Zhao often depicts knights who are mature beyond their years, imbued with a melancholic yet thoughtful demeanor. These figures, characterized by a steady and introspective temperament, represent Zhao's exploration of deep-seated power dynamics and self-reflection. They embody a chivalrous spirit, capable of expressing and doing things beyond Zhao's own capabilities, serving as extensions of his inner world.

Zhao believes that art possesses the power to reveal truths, embody goodness, and inspire beauty. He views the creation of art as a means to address the darker aspects of the world, providing a true emotional foundation, guiding values, and offering spiritual cleansing through aesthetics. His works aim to foster spiritual interaction and connection, continually contributing to the creation of a richer spiritual world.
