Having traveled and worked in over 30 countries, Meng has gained insights into how different cultures and backgrounds interpret art. For decades, he has explored how to capture the fleeting beauty of human movement on canvas and immerse the audience in a dual dream world of ballet and abstract art.

Zhang Liang: A professional painter known for his ultimate realism in oil painting, distinct from Western hyperrealism or photorealism. His creations, under the influence of the art of Cold Jun, originate from the spirit of communication with the subjects during the creative process. Zhang Liang's works exhibit the artistic essence that is difficult for a camera to replicate, combined with a meticulous enlargement that retains a painterly quality. His creations also display the simplicity, referential nature, and lyrical characteristics of traditional Chinese literati painting, along with elements of Western composition and romanticism and conceptual reflections on the era. In recent years, Zhang Liang has produced oil paintings of bamboo, peonies, irises, and more with accurate forms, elegant colors, a free and easy brushwork, and a distinctive style, captivating with a visual charm that balances realism and expression. His works are primarily held by private collectors and circulated in the auction market.
