“My Memory Nr. 2” is a portrait artwork created by Zhang Xiaogang in 2002, belonging to the Magic Realism art movement. The artwork features a young person with a haunting gaze, rendered in a subdued color palette. The subject is depicted with large, melancholic eyes and a delicate, almost ethereal quality to their facial features. A peculiar blotch of color is present on the cheek, adding to the surreal and introspective nature of the piece. The use of soft gradients and smooth textures creates a dreamlike atmosphere, characteristic of Magic Realism, conveying a sense of reflective memory and emotional depth. The overall composition is minimalist, focusing on the emotional expression and subtle nuances of the subject’s face.
