Lihong Zhang

Lotus No.45 / 2023
Oil on Canvas
60 x 60 cm

The lotus flower reflects the artist’s cultural heritage and serves as a central subject for exploring light, color, and impression. In this series, Lihong reinterprets the Impressionist tradition through a deeply personal visual language defined by expressive brushstrokes and a distinctive palette.

Inspired by the changing seasons, the artist captures the full lifecycle of the lotus, from seedpod to bloom, rendering each stage with poetic sensitivity. Built layer by layer, the paintings form richly saturated fields of color, where real-life imagery is transformed through a kaleidoscopic and modern imagination.
