Zhang Tiemei , LV , Acrylic on Canvas, 50 X 50 cm, 2012
Originally from Jilin Province, China and now living in Beijing, Zhang Teimei's works play with shifting concepts of Chinese identity, creating delicate traditional ink drawings and landscapes rendered using the characters of Chinese surnames. The images reflect a contemporary pop culture in China, where beneath all the popular daily life objects, runs a deep rooted Chinese traditional culture.
