Works on paper from Zhexing Shang

31.10.25 —

Zhexing Shang (b. 2000, Henan, China) received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York and MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His practice explores the material intimacy of graphite and charcoal, where each mark carries an irreversible weight—an accumulation of time and gesture—yet remains open to spontaneity. Flowing lines and shifting forms emerge between heaviness and lightness: the former rooted in emotional residue and material pressure, the latter in transitions from figuration to abstraction. Through these tensions, Shang’s work redefines boundaries between self and collective, order and disorder, balancing the density of memory with the fluidity of transformation.
