Zhou Chunya was born in Chongqing and graduated from Kassel Academy of Fine Arts in Germany in 1988. His artworks are supported by top museums and art collectors worldwide. He has also hosted his solo exhibition in Spain, Italy, Norway, Indonesia National Gallery, and Shanghai Art Museum and Today Art Museum in China. In 2009, Zhou established the Fund of Five Colors to help people handicapped by injury and lost their support during the earthquake, and keep helping handicapped people through art education and provide therapeutic programs to children. In 2010, Zhao has gained great success by having his Forty Years Retrospective Review exhibition in Shanghai Art Museum and establishing Zhou Chunya Art Academy in Shanghai. Zhou is not just having huge success in the art market, but also highly regarded for his academic achievement. He was appointed as president to the Academic Committee of Chengdu Biennale in 2013.

Throughout Zhou Chunya’s whole art career, there are three series of works that are most representative: Rock, Green Dog and Peach Blossom. It is fair enough to say that he is a real liberalist who dare to go beyond the bigger concept of history and social conditions because he believes in life experience itself. As one of the most established artists who have been through the Cultural Revolution, he kept his path different from the mainstream “Traumatic Art” at that time. He feels pleasant to face this cruel world and represent it back to the public in a beautiful and romantic way, bringing positiveness and satisfaction to life. However, at the same time, his artwork shows a type of “mild violence” which reflect his resistance as an individual to the society as a whole. As shown within his works about landscapes, lives and the human body, there are metaphors of his personality as both a traditional Literator and a bold contemporary artist.
