Zhong Biao: Début américain à San Francisco

Zhong Biao, Middaysun, 2006

Why should anyone care about the American debut of a Chinese artist when an ever-increasing profusion of galleries have begun focusing on Chinese art?
Some years from now, the dust will settle from the Chinese art craze and the first bursting of the first speculative collecting bubble. While no one can readily predict what the future will hold for individual artists or works of art; one thing is relatively certain; this period of massive cultural change will mark a tipping point in art history, a shift away from more Euro and American-centric orientations and towards a pluralistic global art community, wherein Chinese artists and thinkers will play a pivotal roll. The public should take note, if only to experience a microcosm of this mad, mad art world through the looking-glass of a relatively modest, thoughtful and diligent artist, one who’s paintings embody some of the more nuanced and sincere aspects of an important generation of Chinese creativity. While Zhong Biao may be a rock star in China, pressured to show in more and more museums around the world or to see his work realize higher and higher prices on the open market, this artist remains entirely cognizant that his chance to make a mark and be known is fleeting.
