Using the outside world as a mirror, Zhang Enli often documents the more prosaic aspects of contemporary life. Inside the artist’s Shanghai studio, this short film explores his contemplation of abstraction, portraiture and subjectivity.

In Zhang Enli’s new paintings, gestural canvases reflect his progression to looser, freer brushwork that has become prominent in the artist’s style in recent years and reveals the artist’s compelling and continued exploration into abstract form.

‘Zhang Enli. Faces’, the inaugural exhibition at Hauser & Wirth’s new location in Hong Kong, opens 24 January 2024.

Directed by Chen Yurui
