Born in the year of the Horse, Xiang Zhang grew up in China. After graduating from The Central Academy of Drama in Beijing, he received his Masters Degree in Fine Art from Tulane University in New Orleans. While at Tulane, he developed his special style of portraiture work and increasingly cowboy art.
Xiang currently lives on a ranch in Sherman, Texas where he has immersed himself in the local ranching lifestyle. His work reflects the symbiotic relationship between the cowboy and his horse. Using scintillating colors and bravura brushwork to capture the drama of ranching life, his definitive style has catapulted him to new heights in the art world.
Xiang's paintings hang in private and corporate collections in the United States, Canada, Europe and China, and he has been featured in several art magazines, including Southwest Art Magazine and Art of the West. His work can also be seen on his website: www.xiangzhangart.com
