Biography
b. 1989, Zhang Fuming is trained in the discipline of Printmaking and works with mediums largely of traditional origin. Favouring the direct and physical nature of printing mediums, it allows him to focus on the creation of imagery as an uninterrupted, direct means of communication with his audience.
Harnessing the direct, efficient means of black-white narratives in expressing critical social messages, he create works reprising the role of social realism.
