Yun Zhang at Immersion Therapy

Acclaimed Adelaide based calligrapher Yun Zhang brings his work to Melbourne for the first time with A Brush With Love at Immersion Therapy, marking his first solo exhibition on this scale.

Having first picked up his brush at the tender age of four, Zhang has more than two decades of experience. He has exhibited across South East Asia and has been the recipient of numerous awards, including three National Calligraphy titles in his native China.

A Brush With Love offers a fascinating opportunity to experience his calligraphy first hand, as he bridges the gap of a millennia, drawing out themes of love and longing from Tang Dynasty poetry and re-positioning them within a contemporary arts space for an Australian audience.

This is Zhang's first exhibition in Melbourne following exhibitions in Adelaide and throughout Asia.

Immersion Therapy is a curator run, non profit art space. The Immersion Therapy program is committed to its focus on contemporary art produced by Australian based and regional artists who are either directly or generally influenced by the increasingly prominent cultural motifs of Asia, the Middle East and Latin America.
