In an effort to help curb the spread of COVID-19 and protect our community, Kimball Art Center has suspended art classes, camps, open studios, and workshops through May 1st. We intend to offer online learning in an effort to ensure creativity and inspiration thrive in the interim. In addition, our gallery will be closed through May 1st.

Xi Zhang’s recent paintings explore what it is to be human—to grow and evolve, to navigate relationships, and, often, to struggle. Placing his protagonists amid dream-like landscapes, reality becomes tangled with the complicated nature of how we perceive ourselves, others, and our surroundings. It it in these psychologically driven, often ambiguous narratives that Zhang compassionately depicts universal moments of struggle. Here, he aims to uplift the viewer—to inspire hope and let us know that we are not alone in moments of turmoil and tribulation.
Zhang’s work has been exhibited internationally, and featured in prominent news outlets and periodicals, among them CNN, PBS, NPR, and Juxtapoz.
