In the anonymity of his painting studio, he begins to reproduce all the day-to-day images and objects that surround him on canvas. His images cannot be placed or located somewhere directly, but are rather empty spaces, random objects lying around or discarded utensils such as buckets, plastic bags and dented cardboard boxes. What is remarkable in his oeuvre is the mastery of the craft with which he represents the naked reality of these objects, without any hint of criticism, irony or other connotation. He strips reality to its barest simplicity.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eText: Hans Willemse\u003cbr /\u003e\r\nTranslations: Michael Meert\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eDe schilderstijl van de Chinese kunstenaar \u003cstrong\u003eZhang Enli\u003c/strong\u003e (1965) kan worden gezien als het visuele resultaat van de twee uitersten waarin zijn leven zich heeft afgespeeld: zijn adolescentie op het afgelegen platteland in Noord-China, en zijn bestaan in de hectische miljoenenstad Shanghai. Enli schildert noch de stille ongereptheid van weleer, noch de jachtige vluchtigheid van vandaag.

In de anonimiteit van zijn schildersatelier begint hij op doek alle beelden en voorwerpen te reproduceren die hem dagelijks omringen. Het gaat hierbij niet om beelden die onmiddellijk ergens geplaatst of gelokaliseerd kunnen worden, maar om lege ruimtes, zwervende objecten of afgedankte gebruiksvoorwerpen zoals emmers, plastic tasjes en gedeukte kartonnen dozen. Het opmerkelijke in zijn oeuvre is de beheersing van het m\u0026eacute;tier om de naakte werkelijkheid van deze voorwerpen weer te geven, wars van elke kritiek, ironie of andere connotatie. Hij stript de werkelijkheid tot haar banale eenvoud.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eTekst: Hans Willemse\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eLe style pictural de l\u0026rsquo;artiste chinois \u003cstrong\u003eZhang Enli \u003c/strong\u003e(\u0026deg;1965) peut \u0026ecirc;tre consid\u0026eacute;r\u0026eacute; comme le r\u0026eacute;sultat visuel de deux extr\u0026ecirc;mes entre lesquels sa vie s\u0026rsquo;est d\u0026eacute;roul\u0026eacute;e\u0026nbsp;: son adolescence dans la ruralit\u0026eacute; recul\u0026eacute;e du nord de la Chine et sa vie dans la m\u0026eacute;galopole tr\u0026eacute;pidante qu\u0026rsquo;est Shanghai.
