Arms become long graphic bars, legs fold into angular loops and faces are reduced to a few cheerful marks. The lively compositions are packed with circular trails, glowing targets, floral forms and textured brushwork details that give each image a strong sense of momentum.</p>\n<p>Discover more of Zhimi
