  • “OUR LIFE IS A JOURNEY TO ART.”

    — Zhou Brothers

  • “FEELING IS LIBERTY.”

    — Zhou Brothers

  • "TO BECOME AN ARTIST, ONE MUST POSSESS THE HIGHEST SPIRIT."

    — -Zhou Jinghua, grandmother of ShanZuo and DaHuang Zhou

  • "As artists, when you start to feel like you satisfy yourself, you always pursue a different thing. You always look for the best way to make your art go further, go beyond."

    — DaHuang Zhou

  • "Our work is not about thinking, it's a bout feeling. When we paint, something flowing there, you just have to feel it. It's like Tai Chi. It doesn't look powerful, but the power is there."

    — ShanZuo Zhou

  • "The value of the collaboration is that it opens up things that couldn't happen any other way. When you paint by yourself, no matter how great a painter you are… you won't have the courage to destroy your own painting. You think you are always right. But two people together, they don't care. You paint something amazing, but he destroys it, because he sees it differently. And with this kind of fighting, something comes out in the painting that's never happened before. It's a mystery, and it creates a new magic."

    — DaHuang Zhou

  • "Sometimes, after a while, you both see something, and it's good. You stop right there. The painting is done."

    — ShanZuo Zhou

  • "At the beginning, we knew it was interesting, but we didn't know how special it was… But more and more as we worked together, we realized the value of the collaboration. People think we have the same idea and bring harmony to it before coming to the canvas. That's wrong. The value of the collaboration is that it opens up things that couldn't happen any other way."

    — DaHuang Zhou
