Yueqi Zhang (Chinese/American, 1951-2009). "No. 0007" oil on canvas, 2004. Signed on verso. An abstract painting by Yueqi Zhang featuring a brilliantly colored palette and thickly layered impasto to create a energetic composition. Buzzing with vivacity, the vibrant piece boasts loose, broad brushstrokes in blending hues of scarlet, lime, tangerine, cobalt, navy, and iridescent white. A professor of Visual Communication at Purdue University Northwest, Yueqi Zhang believed that "without emotion, art is not art." Practicing his art allowed him to sharpen his teaching skills to where the curricular activity acted as a form of research. Calling himself an "accidental artist," he did not believe art could be judged and owed his success to his passion for communicating emotions and ideas between cultures via visual image. "The process of creating art is a complicated system. Inspiration is the soul of artwork," Zhang said. "In my art, the sparkle of intercultural impact is my main motivation." Size: 12" W x 16" H (30.5 cm x 40.6 cm)
According to Perdue University Northwest: Yueqi Zhang was hired as assistant professor of communication in 2009 and was promoted to associate professor in 2015. He became professor of communication and creative arts with the start of the 2021-2022 academic year. Professor Zhang taught classes in digital imaging, typography, portfolio process and presentation, digital photography, four levels of design, and two levels of drawing. Neil Nemeth, interim chair of the department of communication and creative arts, said Zhang's work in building the visual communication design concentration made a significant contribution to the department's success. "He was an extraordinarily talented artist and teacher who was devoted to the success of his students," Nemeth said.
Chelsey Rayne, a graduate of the visual communication program and now a master's degree student, appreciated Zhang's kind and supportive nature. "He not only fostered my enthusiasm in design, but he ignited an interest in teaching," she said. "Under his mentorship I flourished not only as a designer but as a person."
