Exploration of Artistic Essence and Demonstration of Cosmic Mystery

Zhang Fangcun is an artist's passion for science，As early as 1997，He discovered the "BZ reaction" theory and the initiation of the idea for this chemical principle of artistic creation。The so-called "BZ reaction" Soviet scientists do Roseau husband and Zhabao Ting Siji, discovered in 1959 and is the first letter of the last name of their respective name of the chemical reaction principle。Two yuan Scientists found by experiment，Citric acid solution under conditions of cerium metal as a catalyst may be present between the two colors of pale yellow and colorless when oxidized rule potassium bromate oscillation period，Like waves of ripples on the water。Since "the BZ reaction" is the result of a change in color，The color is the medium of painting，So Zhang Fangcun think of it for artistic creation，And invented the "BZ Art"。

Zhang Fang-cun is an artist full of passion onto sciences. As early as 1997, he had already found the theory of "BZ Reaction" and conceived the thought to apply this chemical axiom onto artistic creation. What so-called the "BZ Reaction" was mutually found by two Russian scientists, Belousov and Zhabotinsky, in 1959, and named after their initials respectively as "B" and "Z"; through the scientific trial, they found, as citric acid solution serving as catalyzer in metal cerium is oxidized by potassium bromate, it appears with regular cycling oscillation between two colors respectively as the achromatic and the light-yellow, just like the undulated ripple on water surface. For BZ Reaction is producing color changes, an idea comes into Zhang Fang-cun’ s mind to use such painting colors in his artistic creation, thus, the BZ Art is born.

Birth "BZ art" means art of Zhang Fangcun to achieve a form of conversion and leap from exploration to research materials，This is after the development of the arts to the formalism of minimalism modern art logical development，Further exploration of the human body to a new era of art。Zhang Fangcun originally spun off from services in the form of painting functions as a color material，From the image-building、Draw use even "point line" in the independent，It presents its own physical and chemical properties，Let us appreciate the color mystery itself、Strange and wonderful。

The birth of BZ Art means, Zhang’s art realizes the transformation and giant leap from formative exploration to material research; this is logical development of the post-modern art from formalism art to minimalism, or a milestone for human being further to explore the art essence. Zhang departs the painting material (hues) from formative function and separates molding image from drawing "Point, Line, and Surface"; its physical and chemical shape have us realize mystery, peculiarity, and magnificence of the color itself.

Zhang Fangcun "BZ Art" is the result of cooperation between human and Heavenly，His work in those wonderful color rendering half comes from the artist's selection and matching，Half from the Creator of magic and magic。If you say that abstract art is to reveal the intrinsic human nature of the universe，So "BZ Art" is to allow the intrinsic nature of the universe to a certain extent automatically presented。The universe is infinite，To reveal the nature of the universe and the mystery in terms of direction and goals，"BZ Art" is only just beginning，But this is a starting point for unlimited future。We look forward to Zhang Fangcun get more fruitful results in the exploration of "BZ Art" in。

Zhang’s BZ Art is a cooperative combination of manpower and nature. Those beautiful colors in his works originate from two sections; one is coming from artist’s selection onto material proportion, and the other from God’s magic and deity power. If the abstraction art is a revelation onto internal essence of the Universe, then, the BZ Art on a certain level is to display the said internal essence automatically. The cosmos is infinite; as far as direction and destination of the cosmic essence and mystery is concerned, BZ Art is no more than an initiative movement, but is a starting point to an unlimited future. We expect that Zhang Fang-cun in the exploration of BZ Art can obtain more and more abundant achievement.
