Show puts women artists in the picture

Zhou Hehe's sculptures are huge in size and exude a sense of power. Her works on show, Matrix and Energy Tower, remind viewers of the aftermath of a volcanic eruption, accompanied by thunder and lightning. For Zhou, it represents the repeated process of life's destruction and rebirth. She also produced a row of sculptures, each in the shape of human lungs, to encourage viewers to reflect on the impact of COVID-19.

Zhou's father is established oil painter Zhou Chunya, whose works always fetch big sums at auction and are collected by key museums across the world. Often asked how her father has influenced her work, she tries hard to give a direct answer by displaying very different art to that of his paintings.

After giving birth, Zhou took a creative hiatus for several years. Now, however, she has resumed her art and is once again actively taking part in exhibitions.
