Zhāng Xiǎogāng; born in 1958) is a
contemporary Chinese symbolist and surrealist painter. Paintings in his
Bloodline series are predominantly monochromatic, stylized portraits of
Chinese people, usually with large, dark-pupiled eyes, posed in a stiff
manner deliberately reminiscent of family portraits from the 1950s and
1960s.
