Synopsis
The entry of China into the global market has brought this country to the attention of the world. Last but not least, we are witnessing an artistic phenomenon that deserves careful consideration: the increasing presence of Chinese artists on the international art market scene.
This book collects ten interviews with established Chinese artists, all united by an uninhibited inclination to transversal experimentation of styles, techniques and genres. Through the form of the interview, the author has chosen to retrace, together with each artist, the main stages of her/his creative path, influenced by the complex political, cultural and social changes taking place in China in the last thirty years. The artist interviewed are: Huang Rui, The Gao Brothers, Weng Fen, Lin Tianmiao, Zhang Dali, Zhang Huan, Wang Qingsong, Li Wei, Liu Bolin, Zhang Wei.
