Zhang Kai was born  in 1985 in Shanxi, China. He graduated from the School of Arts, Shanxi Normal University, currently works and lives in Beijing. 

In his painting, the protagonists are personified and spiritualized cats and rabbits, which present the tranquil, mysterious and poetic atmosphere. Through the synthesis and reconstruction of the classical and the contemporary, Zhang Kai presents his thinking on time, spirit, appearance and essence, starting from his analysis of art history from the contemporary perspective, and his own aesthetic tendencies.
