In time for spring, celebrated Asian sculptural painter, Zhuang Hong Yi, will unveil his newest works in the highly anticipated solo exhibition titled Essence . Launching HOFA Gallery, London, on 8 March the show is centred on the artist s message of hope and positivity, conveyed by the mesmerising intensity and emotiveness of colours inspired by nature. Essence is an abstract contemporary take on escapism, dwelling not on pleasurable activities but on the pleasure of an intimate and subjective encounter with the beauty and colours of nature. Its pleasure unfurls in the mind, taking viewersâ thoughts momentarily away from the strains of the present to the familiar yet uninhibited beauty of nature. The artist s distinctive teeming and vibrant 3-dimensional floral paintings have endeared him to art collectors and nature enthusiasts across the globe. His works are as pleasing to the mind as they are to the eyes, and the colour-changing perspectival dynamism of his creations
