A bilingual contemporary-artist portfolio spanning paper-and-ink paintings, solo exhibitions, an interactive viewing room, and cross-media collaborations.

Why it surfaced

Zhang Yu turns mountain journeys, mineral pigments, butterflies, cats, eyes, and the female body into a visual language about perception. The site also documents exhibitions in Shanghai and work ranging from film posters and title sequences to game and public-space imagery, while leaving a few contact details visibly under construction.

August 11’s newborn domains include a bee veil with a lockable lunch flap, a book designed to unfold over ten years, a Colombian missing-person and aid board, and a brick studio made by a dad and his 10-year-old co-founder.
