Zhang Hongchun When I happened to see artworks of Zhang Hongchun on an art show, I was much surprised by her calligraphy among other works of make artists for the feminine beauty and serenity in her pieces of exhibition. After I got acquainted with her, she sent me a piece of silk on which she handwrote verses of Li Yu, the famous poet. I think the ancient poem on silk best reveals her personality and aesthetic aptitude. Her calligraphy is outstanding with freshness and vividness. I framed the silk and hanged in my bedroom. In current circle of art, there are many works tagged with high price but without serenity but rudeness and self-promotion which are hardly worth being on my living room, not to mention my bedroom.
