Lingrui Zhang (b.1994) was born in Anhui, China. Following on from a BA in Oil Painting at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, he continued with an MA in Painting at Royal College of Art in London. His work has been featured in a number of group exhibitions including: Final, not Over, Unit 1 Gallery, London (2020), Blessing in Disguise, Saint Maison Gallery, London (2020), Snapshot, Hockney Gallery, London (2020); Sunny Art Prize 2019 Exhibition, Sunny Art Centre, London (2019); The Hidden Dimension, Coningsby Gallery, London (2019), Antibody——Fresh Vision at C2 Space, North District, OCAT-LOFT, Shenzhen (2017); Undergraduate Students’ Graduation Artwork Exhibition of Central Academy of Fine Arts, CAFA Art Museum, Beijing (2017); and The Fictitious Present——INTER YOUTH, Art Museum of CAA, Hangzhou (2015).
Lingrui Zhang's recent art practice mainly focuses on the pictorial and schema language referring to painting itself, in which the concept of ‘meta painting’ is used to develop the practice of relevant figurative painting. Lingrui Zhang’s painting behaviour has become a kind of muscle memory, and seems to pay more attention to the extension of painting medium as an ontology.
