Shanghai Taking Flight Open Edition by Zhou Brothers

ShanZuo and DaHuang’s thinking, aesthetic, and creativity are an interdependence of eastern and western philosophy, art, and literature. Their passion urged them to leave behind their success in China, where they were hailed as national heroes for the arts and move to a global stage. In 1986 the Zhou Brothers moved to Chicago and followed their spirit to change the art world. In 2004, the brothers opened the 87,000 square foot Zhou B Arts Center in Chicago, providing artist residencies for hundreds of artists over the years as well as hosting numerous large scale exhibitions as a commitment to developing Chicago’s art scene.

The open edition focuses on the Zhou Brothers signature Spirit figures. Iterations of the spirit flicker across a painted, graphic backdrop. The abstract style merges China’s primitive art aesthetic - inspired by the ancient Huashan rock paintings - with the language of western art tradition. An established system of symbols express life’s passion and power, and successfully represent an eastern philosophy through a contemporary vision.
