The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) presents Zheng Chongbin: Golden State, which spotlights artist Zheng Chongbin’s explorations of water, light, movement, and California’s natural landscape. This 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.
