Bio: Shanzuo Zhoushi and Dahuang Zhoushi, born in Guangxi, China and currently based in Chicago, US, are world renowned Chinese painters. Since coming to the US in 1986, they have become celebrity artists in US and Europe with their endeavor and talent. Time and time again they created legends of the world’s abstract art history; their paintings are chased after by collectors, celebrities, museums and foundations; they hold exhibitions all over the globe and have received numerous awards. As one of the most important contemporary artists duo, they create unique, profound, and powerful works through the collaboration of the two. Their contribution to late 20th century’s contemporary art is unneglectable, and their works have made the top rankings of global living artists. Together, the Zhou Brothers have led an artistic career for over 40s, creating a legend of art history and the American dream. The Zhou Brothers’ thinking, aesthetic, and creativity are a symbiosis of eastern and western philosophy, art, and literature that informed their development since early childhood, and eventually spurring the evolution of their influential philosophy. They call their philosophy “Feelingism,” and describe it as “feeling is liberty.” It can be interpreted as believing in yourself, and following your heart. The Zhou Brothers create paintings through unique collaborations, and the most compelling thing about this process is the intricacies of spirituality.
