Zhang diverse projects include series of drawings, paintings and photographically based work and installations of large sculpture. In the recent series Time Chapter, he has altered large format photographs of historic Chinese and western architecture with painted additions of modernist forms. In his China Series Zhang may alter antique Chinese pots themselves or uses paint over photographs to reshape their image. The range of Zhang’s interests and his ability to reference thousands of years of art history are in line with the numerous influences he sites, including Asian philosophies of antiquity and early 20th century European art. A major installation of his large sculptural work Sumi-Ink Garden of Re-Creation was shown at the Shanghai Biennale in 2002. In 2004 API organized an exhibition of the Time Chapter series at the DTW gallery in New York.
