ZHOU BROTHERS
The Zhou Brothers, ShanZuo born 1952 and DaHuang born 1957, are amongst the most important and accomplished contemporary artists in the world today. Renowned for their unique collaborative work process which has spanned over 40 years, they work together on their paintings, performances and sculptures. The Brothers discovered this distinguishing collaboration after working on their first painting together in 1973, titled “The Wave.”
Their thinking, aesthetic, and creativity are a symbiosis of eastern and western philosophy, art, and literature that informed of their development since early childhood, and eventually spurring the evolution of their influential “Feeling is Liberty” Philosophy which has been taught in the last 20 years to thousands of their students. Their indomitable spirit allowed them to leave behind their brilliant success in China, where they were hailed as national heroes for their early work, to step onto the world stage. In 1986 the Zhou Brothers took an enormous risk and moved to the United States.
