Famous Chinese Contemporary artist Fang Lijun, was born in 1963 in Handan, Hebei Province, and is one of the leading and most influential contemporary artists in China. Fang Lijun is known to be one of the main forerunners of the early 1990’s movement known as Cynical Realism. This artistic trend evolved as a result of the aftermath of the 1989 student demonstrations in Tiananmen and the closing of the “China Avant-Garde” exhibition at the China National Gallery in Beijing. These events, which symbolize the climax of the artistic aspirations that built up during the 1980’s, collapsed at once and created a void that Fang Lijun and others filled with a new message full of irony and indifference to the big forces that the individual is subject to. Fang Lijun was one of the first artists to translate this new social temperament onto the canvas.
