Divinity clay. Zou Jianping is an important promoter and artist in the development of modern and contemporary art in China, and he is a contemporary artist who combines publishing and creation, cross-border and complex.

Obviously, his case studies seem to have been neglected compared to his contemporaries in the history of the development of modern and contemporary art in China and the relationship between art and the market, and this exhibition is being held at this time by Tang Space Bangkok in order to enrich and affirm his later art. After the age of 60, Zou Jianping crossed the mountains from the ancient city of Changsha to Kashmir and turned all the way. A few years later, Zou Jianping's series of creations in search of the frontier was presented in the form of sediment.

Sediment is often referred to as meadows and meadows, while desert soils tear apart the vast world of the liver and marrow through the repainting of the visual repainting of the domain, outside of the mainstream artistic discourse. Zou Jianping's works do not play with the vulgar and frivolous, he penetrates the Zen statue to reclaim the wasteland, and meditates on the sands of time and cultural tributaries, precipitating into a series of mottled reds. In Zou Jianping's works, these sediments are the soul of the region, the dust of history, the reshaping of the body of the East, and the burial place of civilization. The earth is a essentia of romantic discourse symbols, and sediment is the constituent material of the earth, as a substrate of the surface material layer, sediment is the substrate and foundation of all terrestrial ecosystems, Zou Jianping's desert series explores and meditates, and the physical and chemical meaning of sediment as soil is dissolved, and the natural life of deciduous roots, moths, and insects, and all kinds of man-made objects. In his work, everything is a note of reconstruction.

The exhibition in Bangkok focuses on Zou Jianping's experience in the desert, and his recent works are more about paying tribute to his mother, wife and children, and chanting about seeds and rice. Over the years, Zou Jianping has rushed from the city to the desert and returned to life from the wilderness. In each of the specific mud and sand paintings and Han soul drawings on the scene, the spiritual scenes that Zou Jianping has traversed have gone from far away to the sky, although they are in the present world and under the wings of a child.
