Buoyancy | ZHANG YONGHONG

€0.00

Buoyancy by Zhang Yonghong is a unique contemporary textile artwork defined by its organic linework, floating forms and subtle tensions between structure and softness. Hand-stitched in layers of fabric and thread, the piece reveals the artist’s distinctive balance between abstraction, symbolic gesture and tactile material presence.
At the centre of the composition, two pale yellow forms—outlined by looping, bright red stitching—appear suspended within a dark textile field. The surrounding linear web creates a sense of upward movement, gently echoing the artwork’s title and suggesting emotional elevation, breath and release.
The lower section, finished with a contrasting soft coral band, adds grounding to the otherwise weightless composition. Buoyancy embodies Zhang’s ability to fuse fragility, movement and strength into a single textile surface.

About the artist

ZHANG YONGHONG

ZHANG YONGHONG (b. Xinjiang, China) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work moves between textile art, ceramics, painting and mixed media installations. Her practice builds a bridge between the tangible and the intangible, exploring memory, material transformation and the spiritual dimensions of human existence.

Through the interplay of fabric, clay, paper and pigment, Zhang constructs poetic cartographies of the soul—gardens of light and shadow where fragility and resilience coexist. By embracing imperfection and the natural autonomy of materials, she transforms acts of sewing, folding and layering into metaphors of emotional archaeology. Her works often resemble living organisms—woven memories that breathe, heal and unfold in time.

Rooted in childhood memories from the vast landscapes of Xinjiang, Zhang’s artistic journey began with the rhythmic sound of her mother’s vintage sewing machine, which became a metronome of creation and time. Since 2008, her ongoing fabric archive project has evolved into a profound reflection on the relationship between body, memory and matter—where each stitch embodies both loss and rebirth.

Zhang’s artistic language combines philosophical depth and material experimentation, positioning her practice within the broader dialogue between contemporary art and spirituality. Her work invites viewers to contemplate transformation not as destruction, but as the serene act of dancing upon the flowing ruins of life itself.
