The East is Red by Ling Jian

Ling Jian was born in the Shandong Province of China in 1963. He graduated from the Qinghua University Art College and has exhibited his work in Germany, Bangkok, Amsterdam, and Italy. Ling Jian’s art is neither westernized Chinese art nor orientalized western art but a carefully negotiated hybridization calibrated to the artist’s expressive concerns.

Most Wanted French by Sheng Qi

Sheng Qi is a Chinese performance artist and painter. He was one of the original founders of the Chinese performance art group, Concept 21. In 1989, in protest to the massacre at Tiananmen Square, he severed the pinkie finger of his left hand and buried it in a porcelain flowerpot which remained in Beijing during his subsequent exile in Europe. In 1999 he returned to Beijing but mostly lives in London since 2010. His prevelant themes are the body language and its culture. All his works are painted in black, grey and red.
