Zhang Yuping has specialized in subjects from Tibet and other remote and high altitude regions within the Peoples' Republic of China. The artist's emotional passion for Tibet is typical for many Han Chinese. A folkloristic land of vast plains, high mountains and a mysterious culture. Zhang Yuping's images look nearly surreal, like images from a different planet.
