Meet Liang Zhang | Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Liang Zhang and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Liang, what do you want your legacy to be?
I’d like my legacy to be woven with threads of inspiration and positive impact. I hope people remember me as someone who sparked curiosity, encouraged creativity, and spread a bit of joy along the way. Whether through words, actions, or shared moments, I aspire to leave behind a trail of inspiration that encourages others to embrace their uniqueness and pursue their passions. If, in the tapestry of memories, people find a thread of positivity, encouragement, and a spark of creativity that lingers, then I’d consider that a legacy well-crafted.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My work is a testament to the fusion of organisms with the meticulous grid system, delving into the profound impact these systems wield on individuals. Nature is the heartbeat of my exploration, intricately dissecting the dance between nature and humanity. Sculptures and installations are my chosen mediums, allowing me to confront the rigid regulations and innate softness of nature in our contemporary society. By juxtaposing organic forms with the grid’s rigidity, I challenge conventional perspectives, sparking dialogues on our intricate relationship with the natural world. My art seeks the delicate equilibrium between imposed order and the wild chaos of nature, transcending the physical into realms of ideas and emotions. Through immersive environments and thought-provoking installations, I beckon viewers to reflect on their connection to contrasting elements.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Buckle up for a taste-filled journey and artistic exploration in LA! Start in San Gabriel for an authentic Chinese feast—LA is the unrivaled city for the taste of China. Delight your taste buds with this city’s diverse culinary wonders. For somewhere to visit, my favorite place is the Hollywood area, dive into the vibrant art scene, specifically along Highland Ave and Santa Monica Blvd, where a treasure trove of galleries awaits. Immerse yourselves in the creativity and unique perspectives that grace the walls of these spaces.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to express my deepest gratitude to my family—the unwavering pillars of my support. Their encouragement and love have been my constant inspiration, propelling me to reach new heights. Additionally, a heartfelt thank you goes to the insightful curators who discovered my talent. Their keen eye and belief in my work have opened doors I never imagined. Finally, I extend my appreciation to the galleries that brought my creations to life. Their commitment to showcasing art has given my passion a platform to shine. Together, my family, curators, and galleries form a vital tapestry of support, shaping my journey and making every success a shared triumph.
