Notes along the way – London, 2023
In Shanghai East TV series about artists, Zhou Zhiwei is portrayed as “the traveller”. He is not only a painter but also an avid traveller. His paintings encompass a wide range of subjects including different figures, different landscapes and atmospheres. Travelling serves as his primary source of inspiration and within the nature he encounters during his journeys we discover a rich tapestry: serene temples, the profound beauty of a mountains, the snow_capped peaks, the African baobabs and Mongolian children riding horses. While Zhou Zhiwei’s subjects vary greatly, a common thread can be discerned in the sensitivity with which he interprets nature.
