Hebei, China artist Zhang Lin Hai recently held his much anticipated 4th solo exhibition entitled “Purple and Reminiscence”.

Pre-eminent in his field, Zhang Lin Hai’s collection of new works shows how he is evolving stylistically as an artist as he further develops his scope of imagination, and his motif of bald young boys against a backdrop of a post-industrial arid wasteland. Zhang Lin Hai’s almost surrealist oil paintings explicitly articulating feelings such as sadness, fear, a need for escape, bemusement, and even more disconcerting, the vapid glare of shock or even possession.
