Beginning March 23, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art is presenting “Zheng Chongbin: Golden State,” which spotlights artist Zheng Chongbin’s explorations of water, light, movement and California’s natural landscape. The exhibition marks the artist’s largest solo presentation in the U.S. to date and the first major showcase of his work with colored pigments.

Where previous presentations have contextualized his practice in the canon of Chinese ink painting alone, LACMA’s exhibition situates Zheng as a distinctly Californian artist.

This exhibition is curated by Susanna Ferrell, Wynn Resorts Associate Curator of Chinese Art at LACMA. “Golden State” will remain on view through Jan. 4, 2026. For information, visit lacma.org/press/zheng-chongbin-golden-state. LACMA is located at 5905 Wilshire Blvd.
