ZHANG Peiyun specializes in using minimalist lines and contours in her paintings, but her goal is not just to test the boundaries of contemporary art language, but also to investigate how a classical sense of order can be embedded underneath a contemporary sense of form. Under close look, the colours and contours of the plant forms and the conductor's hands depicted by ZHANG Peiyun can be faintly discerned under the flat, dragged, covered, or translucent white brushstrokes. The "white" in the sculptures is richly and delicately coloured by the shapes, cracks, roughness, and smoothness of the surfaces under the light, and the similarities and differences between them highlight the relationship between "the many and the one" in the works - the richness of form, material, and texture and the overall Aura and rhythm of the works. The artist's works resemble plants in the garden, perched on a wooden stand with unique form and quality. The delicate, firm, and pure white texture of the works, given by the characteristics of the material, is accompanied by a large amount of "white" in the overall space, and the symbolic way of imagination transforms the real and natural forms.
