        About Jack Zhou

        Born in 1965 and raised on the outskirts of the city of Beijing, China. Having spent his childhood surrounded by scenes of nature, filled with mountains and streams, Jack began his exploits in art when he was 18. By the time he was 22, he attended the Beijing Normal (Union) University to study design. After graduating, Jack was inducted into The Beijing Society of Artists, and had a collection of his work on permanent display in The Fine Art Museum of Beijing. In 2002, Jack decided to move to Canada and discover the unique landscapes of Northern Ontario.

        From Muskoka to Algonquin Park, like a child chasing after a firefly, he chases the constantly changing environment. But instead of a jar and a net, Jack arms himself with brush and canvas, endeavouring to catch the organic shapes around him by encapsulating them on canvas with meticulously, almost 
        pointillistic attention, covering the canvas with tiny brush strokes to translate how he sees the world as the light fades into the horizon.

        Jack Zhou's Artist Statement

        Painting landscapes on canvas is a creative process which allows me, first of all, to express my passionate love for nature; secondly, to reproduce my precise observation of its seasonal changes; and thirdly, to search for harmony between human beings and the natural world.

        I paint solid rocks, vast prairie, tranquil lakes, gurgling streams, and so on. To me nature not only possesses a mesmerizing power, but also restlessly changes itself and everything.

        In my composition, I depict nature in action and movement. By combining dot, line, and space carefully with black, white, and grey shades, I want to compose the organic shape and status of nature, so that my paintings can give the audience a profound visual experience.

        When applying colour, I reinforce the absorbing capacity of the canvas by emphasizing my personal emotions. I contrast warm colour with cold and cool colour, and heavy brushes with light touches; sometimes, I pay meticulous attentions to the details. Overall, I hope to achieve a modern Eastern sensitivity on canvas, which includes a subjectively and decoratively created artistic momentum of landscape paintings.
