Big Family (Boy)
By Zhang Xiaogang
Zhang Xiaogang is a prominent Chinese contemporary artist best known for his Bloodline: Big Family series, which explores themes of memory, identity, and collective history. Influenced by Chinese family portraits and the Cultural Revolution, his paintings feature stylized, somber-faced figures often linked by red lines, symbolizing familial and ideological connections. Zhang’s haunting, surreal style reflects the tension between personal identity and state-imposed narratives, making him a leading voice in post-Mao Chinese art. His work has gained international recognition and is held in major collections worldwide.
