Lithograph printed in colours - Signed, numbered and dated on the front - Printed by IDEM, Paris. Published by Beijing Commune, Beijing. // Zhang Xiaogang’s The Big Family from the Bloodline series presents a family portrait rendered in grayscale, with a single member depicted in vibrant red. The image features four individuals, all with solemn, expressionless faces, positioned closely together. One of the central figures stands out with striking red skin, a hallmark of Zhang’s style symbolizing emotional or generational weight within the family structure. Fine red lines subtly trace connections between the family members, evoking the invisible bonds of heritage and bloodline that tie them together. Zhang’s use of light and shadow highlights the symmetry and placidity of the figures, capturing a sense of unity but also quiet alienation. Signed, numbered, and dated on the front, this lithograph printed by IDEM in Paris and published by Beijing Commune encapsulates Zhang’s reflections on identity, family, and the socio-political legacy of Chinese history.

What is Chinese contemporary art?
Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
