Eli Klein Fine Art Presents ZHANG DALI: A RETROSPECTIVE, Now Through 2/18

The most recent series, World's Shadow, brings the artist to a New Medium. Photograms allow Zhang Dali to explore the physical and allegorical interaction between shadows and objects. The transient nature of shadows plays with Zhang Dali's central themes; nature is replaced by concrete and steel, tradition is replaced by modernization, and each only leaves a shadow of their passing.
