Dr. Zhao is an art historian. He mainly works on the Buddhist visual materials and heritages in China before the Tang dynasty (ca. 1st – 6th c.), with an emphasis on its collision and fusion with early Chinese funerary art. His scholarship focuses on the visual materials embodying the interactions between Buddhism and various local cultures along the Silk Routes, with special attention given to materials in the understudied Central Asian area. He examines tranAsian Buddhist art and its modern aspects fashioned by the West to examine cross-disciplinary issues concerned by scholars in many fields and create discourses, exhibitions and digital projects intriguing the wider public.
He is currently working on his book project tentatively titled “Resonation between Tombs and Temples: Art, Beliefs and Practices of Heavens and Pure Lands in Early Medieval China (2nd to 6th century).” This book examines how visual materials tell a story on the shifting beliefs in paradise in early medieval China, along with the introduction and development of Buddhism.
Doctor of Philosophy in Art History, University of Kansas
