Several years ago when I visited Zhang Enli's studio, I was totally stunned at his canvas. His art altered, greatly differed from his previous style -- those familiar "Expressionism". His tableau appeared more sensitive with confidence. There was a kind of power which I could hardly describe it in words, touched me.

Sometimes I feel it is difficult to be a painter. One has to endure all the solitude, savor his or her own experience. Now everything changes, like the city and people. I appreciate his paintings, his indifference and solidity and I appreciate more for his continuing persistence.
