2.OPA reporter asked:What is your background? What was the experience that most influenced your work?

Artist Junzhong Zhao replied : I have loved art since I was a child. Although I have gone through ups and downs, I was lucky enough to step into the door of art, entered the art college, and engaged in art creation. The most influential thing in his career is the nine years of working in Chen Yifei’s studio. He studied deeply and fully understood the professional skills and artistic personality of his predecessors, which laid a solid foundation for his independent artistic creation. His big visual art concept has also been influencing my thinking mode of artistic creation, which has greatly broadened my artistic vision and pattern.

3, OPA reporter asked:What is the role of artists in society and contemporary art?

Artist Junzhong Zhao replied:  Bing contemporary art is the most avant-garde, avant-garde and experimental new art. Contemporary artists are people who practice and develop contemporary art. The role of an artist in society does not need to be exaggerated to be an indispensable leader, nor is it necessary to be humble enough to be a dispensable low-level existence. Artists are one of many common social occupations and one of the organic components of a complex and diverse society. Artists are the pioneers of the spiritual world of human beings, the spiritual linkers between individuals and between individuals and the world, and convey their ideology and social considerations to the world through their works.

4. OPA reporter asked:What is your creative process like?

Artist Junzhong Zhao replied: My creative idea is to record the time of boring linear movement, and “still” the never-ending time on the screen in the form of creation. The form adopted is to repeatedly draw short lines on the screen, densely packed, layer upon layer, and there are no ups and downs in the process, only boring strokes.

5, OPA reporter asked: How do you feel when you see your work done?

Artist Junzhong Zhao replied: Due to the way I create, the focus of my work is the creation process—the endless time recording. Time has no end, so it is impossible to confirm what form is the final completion of the work. The work brought to the exhibition hall to face the audience is only a stage of display. When I return to the studio again, I may continue my record on this basis . For the rest of my life, I will remain in the process of creation without end.
