WATCH: Zheng Chongbin on “I Look for the Sky”
The work of Zheng Chongbin, an American artist born in China and based in the Bay Area for more than three decades, has evolved from traditional figurative ink painting to a multidisciplinary practice encompassing abstract painting, installation, time-based media, and public art. Zheng Chongbin: I Look for the Sky consists of two site-specific commissions that manipulate light and space, shifting our perspective of the ever-changing world. Suspended above Johnson S. Bogart Court at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, I Look for the Sky—the installation which gives this exhibition its title—invites us to reflect upon the museum on an architectural and symbolic level. Using panels of different transparencies to direct natural light, the installation immerses us in an expansive space that encourages discovery and possibility.
