China's Zhang Xiaogang: ‘Painting is a Slow process'
CHRISTIES
In this exclusive interview, China’s leading contemporary artist [Zhang Xiaogang] talks to specialist Tianyue Jiang about his career, [and] his creative process:..."I once said to the media that I demand too much of myself. If I were a conceptual or installation artist, I would think about exactly how my next piece of work would turn out. But as a painter, if I worked tirelessly for a year and advanced just one centimetre, I would feel this was an enormous triumph." [link]
