Zhong Biao is a contemporary Chinese artist born in Chongqing in 1968. He is considered one of the most influential contemporary artists in China.Zhong He is known for its eclectic mix of styles and influences, which blend traditional Chinese painting techniques with elements of pop art, surrealism, and abstraction. His paintings often feature fragmented images of modern urban life, incorporating a wide range of cultural references and symbols.

One of Zhong Biao's most notable works is his series of "Urban Fiction" paintings, which depict chaotic, dreamlike visions of modern cities. These works often incorporate elements of traditional Chinese architecture and calligraphy, as well as modern imagery such as billboards, neon signs, and skyscrapers.

Another recurring theme in Zhong Biao's work is the idea of "cultural displacement," which reflects his personal experience growing up in Chongqing during a time of rapid social and cultural change. Many of his paintings explore the tension between tradition and modernity, as well as the impact of globalization on Chinese culture.

Throughout his career, Zhong Biao has exhibited his work in galleries and museums around the world, including the Shanghai Art Museum, the Guangdong Museum of Art, and the National Art Museum of China. His work has also been featured in major international exhibitions, such as the Venice Biennale and the Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art.

In addition to his career as an artist, Zhong Biao is also a professor at the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing, where he teaches painting and art theory. His influence extends beyond the art world, as he is widely regarded as a cultural figurehead and intellectual in China.
