陳張莉 (b.1944~)
1968年台灣國立政治大學文學學士，1990年紐約普拉特學院藝術碩士，長期旅居紐約創作。中年決心投入創作，隻身遠赴紐約求學，在抽象繪畫盛行的年代和氛圍中開啓創作生涯。2020年返台定居。
陳張莉，以瀟灑流暢與鮮明的抽象繪畫，創造出具代表性的個人風格。對她而言，音樂與創作密不可分，音樂元素使畫面充滿節奏和流動感。長期的舞蹈訓練透過對身體的高度掌握，從大自然動人的流動狀態獲得創作靈感，透過抽象繪畫，細膩地記錄每一瞬間的變化，使色彩能自動地在畫布上流動、堆疊，創造出迷人的肌理及厚度。
藝術家擅長運用西方藝術語彙，襯托出她的風格與中國繪畫之間的密切關係，從不斷反芻生活的點滴到至今的隨心所欲。追求創作精神上的風格改變，以多元的媒材形式，嘗試將內在的感受反思到真實的外在世界。
自1987年起於臺北市立美術館、關渡美術館、上海美術館、美國紐約林肯中心、法國巴黎國際畫廊、大皇宮、韓國漢城「第十七屆亞洲國際美展」等機構及私人畫廊展出。作品獲美國普拉特學院、國立臺灣美術館、臺北市立美術館、高雄市立美術館、上海美術館等地收藏。2009年受邀韓國國際仁川女性雙年展，2010年中國深圳國際水墨雙年展等國際大展；近十年以來，展覽穿梭於紐約、臺灣和中國。
