SmithDavidson Gallery is the official gallery for Zhuang Hong Yi with access to the full collection.
Zhuang Hong Yi is regarded as one of China's most influential artists. It is the combination of his Chinese background and his European influences that mark the uniqueness of Zhuang’s work. Embracing his present without losing his past, he defines a sense of self that exists between the two and enacts this personal story visually, balancing between phases of controlled planning, emotional gesture, and careful editing that result in works of beauty, surprise, and curiosity. Zhuang's work is distinguished by its bold color schemes and sophisticated, recurring, and precise floral motifs that symbolize a universal symbol of prosperity and optimism.
After studying at the Sichuan College of Fine Arts in China, Zhuang moved to the Netherlands in 1992, where he pursued further studies at the Minerva Academy in Groningen. The profound inspiration drawn from nature's efflorescence can be traced back to the moment Zhuang first saw the renowned tulip fields nestled within the picturesque Dutch landscapes; this inspiration continues to serve as the cornerstone of Zhuang's artistic creations.
SmithDavidson Gallery started working with Zhuang Hong Yi almost 2 decades ago and gallery owner David Smith and Zhuang have built a close friendship over the years. Engaging their extensive network SmithDavidson Gallery introduced the artist internationally starting with presentations at Art Miami and TEFAF Maastricht. In 2022 SDG held the first solo exhibition of the artist in Mexico.
Over the past several decades, Zhuang has achieved international acclaim. His sculptural paintings have been showcased across the globe in over a hundred different exhibitions, including esteemed solo exhibitions at the Found Museum in Beijing, China, the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands and the Ulm Museum in Germany.
Works shown are a selection of currently available works. Send us an email if you would like to know more about this serie or for additional works or works on commission.

Portrait Zhuang Hong Yi
Over de kunstenaar
Solo Colors of Spring - Lentekleuren
Museum de Zwarte Tulp is trots op deze eerste solo-expositie van de Chineser kunstenaar Zhuang Hong Yi in Nederland in bijna tien jaar. Het is een overzichtstentoonstelling met sleutelwerken uit t de periode 2003 t/m 2018. Ze hangen niet toevallig in het museum voor de Bollenstreek. De inspiratiebron voor de collages, Landscapes en Flowerbeds die in het museum te zien zijn, zijn deels terug te voeren op de eindeloze, kleurrijke bollenvelden die Zhuang onder zich door zag glijden tijdens zijn eerste vlucht van China naar Nederland.
