At the age of just 18, Zhao Gang, the son of Manchurian intellectuals, was the youngest member of the legendary Star Group, alongside Ai Weiwei as well as Huang Rui. In 1979, the way the up-and-coming avant-garde group in China protested against the party’s control of art was as influential as it was unsuccessful. Later, he studied in Europe and in the United States, acquired American citizenship, and is regarded as one of the outstanding “representatives of his generation, who truly understands East as well as West and speaks Chinese and English as a native language” (Phil Tinara) and who, as a passionate painter, consequently, also blends the visual language of East and West into a hybrid in a subtle, rebellious, sensitive, frenetic, mischievous, and absurd manner.
In 2018 he took part in the survey exhibition “Art and China after 1989: Theater of the World” at the Guggenheim Museum, which showed the crème de la crème of contemporary art. The publication provides an overview of six central exhibitions from recent years, and takes a retrospective look at his work and life.

ZHAO GANG was born in 1961 in Beijing as the son of Manchurian intellectuals. He left China in 1983 to study at the State Academy of Fine Arts, Maastricht and at Vassar College, where he was accepted in 1984 and graduated as part of the “class of 88”. He received his Master of Fine Arts at Bard College. After living in New York for over two decades, he returned to Beijing in 2006. Among the exhibitions he has participated in are the Yokohama Triennale (2005), Performa, New York (2007) and “Art and China After 1989: Theater of the World” at the Guggenheim Museum, New York (2018).
Zhao Gang is a wanderer between two worlds. At the age of just 18, he was the youngest member of legendary avant-garde artist group The Stars, which also included Ai Weiwei. Their 1979 group exhibition, and the protests that followed, are often cast as the birth of contemporary Chinese art. Shortly thereafter Gang left for Europe and the United States. Having acquired American citizenship, he is regarded as one of the few artists of his generation who truly understands the East and the West - yet who looks at both worlds with a certain detachment. In his figurative paintings, however, he merges their different visual languages, increasingly turning toward examinations of his personal history and the historical roots of contemporary China. This monograph provides an overview of six central exhibitions from recent years, and introduces the life and work of this rebellious, sensitive, and mischievous painter.
