Artist Statement:
Hello! Thank you for visiting
my site!
My name is Ji Hong Zhang. I
was born in Hangzhou a
beautiful city in China. I
went in 1994 to the
Netherlands where I wanted to
develop myself more as a
artist. For the past 5 years I
am living and working
alternately in China and the
Netherlands. Its a big
privelidge and pleasure to
enjoy both countries social
and cultural advantages.
Netherlands as I see it is a
small, calm and cosy country.
China is a huge, hectic en
fast vibrating country. As in
my art works is illustrated, I
love contrasts in things. And
like in the Yin Yang
philosophy. There is allways
a positive point in the
negative, as there is allways
a negative point in the
positive. And when it is in
balance, then its good.
My specialities are sculptures
in bronze, multimedia
paintings, multimedia
installations, monumental work
and I do performances for
example at the openings of
exhibitions.

| Your Personal Biography |
Ji Hong is born in Hangzhou, a city about 150 kilometers south of Shanghai.
As a girl of 9 years old Ji Hong amazed her parents, family and neighbours by making her first sketch of an portrait artwork, which she still keep in a map for inspiration. From that day on her fascination for the fine art increased rapidly. At the age of 15 year old Ji Hong applied for the Red Star Art School. And after only one year in 1982 she did her entrance exam and was accepted for the Art High School of the National Academy of China. In that periode of her artist education Ji Hong was looking for the right direction by studying both the chinese art history and the western art history. And simultaneously she skilled herself in the chinese calligraphy and inkpainting and design, painting, etc. After the three years of Art High School Ji Hong wanted to go to best possible and the highest recommanded art academy in China, the Chinese National Academy of Fine Arts were only the best talents can apply for. Encouraged by her teachers she successfully passed her exam and started at the Sculpture department. Here finally Ji Hong found her true direction making sculptures and beside that she enjoy very much the dance classes. So both skills are found as an synthese in her ballet sculptures. And Ji Hongs skills in chinese calligraphy and deep interest for the chinese philosophies as Yin Yang and Zhan ( Zen in Japan) are to be found as a synthese with new inspiration and experimental works of art.
