Oil on Canvas, 23.6 x 23.6 x 2.4 in (59.9 × 59.9 cm).

Meifen Zhong (b. 1986, China) is a painter based in Shanghai. Immersed in visual art and music from childhood, she graduated from the China Academy of Art in 2010 and has worked across oil, drawing and egg tempera ever since. Her practice centers on portraiture and the quiet intensity of human presence, with a particular attention to porcelain-like surfaces that are smooth, luminous and fragile. See less
