OBJECT 60 is a 2D installation inspired by one of Zhang’s father’s architectural projects in New York City. The piece explores the relationship between geometric shapes and architectural structures, translating three-dimensional forms into a two-dimensional visual experience. Instead of directly depicting the architecture, OBJECT 60 abstracts its elements—each painted shape (OBJECT) symbolizing an individual component of the original structure.
Beyond its visual elements, the work reflects on minimalism, investigating its relevance in art, architecture, and interior design. It also considers how minimalism influences the artist’s creative process and its significance within contemporary art, while offering a broader reflection on how this aesthetic mirrors modern human lifestyles.
