2013
About the Item
Tribute to Rodin 5 is a unique painting by contemporary artist Hongyu Zhang. The painting is made with Indian ink, pastel, acrylic, engraving and collage on cardboard mounted on canvas and stretcher, dimensions are 140 × 100 cm (55.1 × 39.4 in). Dimensions of the framed artwork are 146 x 106 cm (57.4 x 41.7 in).
The artwork is signed, sold framed (grey shadow box) and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Using contrasting mediums like pastels, China ink, charcoal, and acrylics, this figurative piece is a portrait that visually gives the still image a dynamic dimension. On the canvas composition, the artist also used linography, a photographic printing technique on textile that adds contrast by making the dark colours in the portrait stand out against a blue background.
Hongyu Zhang’s technique is part of the oldest and richest artistic heritage in the human history. The artist fuses techniques from his ancestors with acrylic, oils and pastels from the West. He works on different mediums placed directly on the floor. The expression, however, is truly from western inspiration, and the influence of engraving is obvious in his paintings.

Zhang Hongyu
Hongyu Zhang’s artworks take root in calligraphy and traditional Chinese painting. The line creates the fundamental unity of all his works, particularly his portraits, which have a striking expressive power. The artist draws them on different mediums placed directly on the floor, with music helping him to find the strength, rhythm and movement of each work. He creates an energetic space that attracts and captivates, inviting us to decipher the artist’s nervous writing, which seems to have been invented to understand the depths of the soul. “For me, a work is the meeting between a subject and the artist’s thoughts, his experiences. It is about giving an impression, translating a feeling... This approach is central to the aesthetic system of traditional Chinese painting: it is more about expressing a sensation than painting a reality.’’
