Zeng's depiction of inner and outer states relies on color as a material and motif

Chinese painter Zeng Fanzhi (born 1964) became known for his Masks series in the mid-1990s. This catalog of a solo show at the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai adds works from series across his career, from his earliest portraits of friends through abstract landscapes of the 2000s up to his recent Sparkling Paintings.
