LIU Zheng and ZHANG Hui Contemporary Art Exhibition and Sale
date: 2007-01-17 to 2007-01-29
The inaugural exhibition of our gallery took place in January 2007 and doubled as a fundraising event for the critically ill toddler of artists LIU Zheng and ZHANG Hui in the Beijing art community.
LIU Zheng first made an impact on the Chinese art scene in the late 90s with his gorgeously 'kitschy' beaded tapestries, depicting Chinese yuan/RMB notes of money, famous movie scenes, and several Buddhist statues, all in millions of individually applied beads. This exhibition, however, highlighted several of his later oil paintings.
ZHANG Hui is a well known oil painter in China, as is shown through her treatment of the famous 'Beijing Wawa' series, including several fibreglass figures in spashy colors such as orange, electric blue, red, pink and others.

front line contemporary donated proceeds from this event to provide medically necessary treatment for this special child in the US in February 2007.
