Zhu Fadong was born in Kunming of the province of Yunnan in 1960. He graduated from the Fine Arts Department of Yunnan Art Institute in 1985. As an independent artist for more than a decade, his works have attracted a tremendous amount of attention in the art world. These work include Announcement of a Missing Person, This Person is For Sale, Lifestyle, and Will Comrade Zhu Fadong Please Leave the Room First. As a result of this profile, he has been included in the Chinese art history and mentioned in several art textbooks. As materialism continues to gain force, more and more artists involve their art with the existential condition of being human and other related ruminations. Art begins to carry the critical responsibility of existential introspection. Using his own body as an art medium, Zhu directly participates in public life with his art and offers a statement and reflection on the human condition. Posing as a missing person without social identity and exposed to public gaze, he attempts to highlight the transformation of our society and questions the social values we hold dear. He asks: “How do we establish a new self and persona in a new society?” Being adept at breaking free from traditional art media, he continues to reinvent himself and keeps open to new possibilities. In this show, Zhu Fadong will present his latest mixed media work and work on paper. Would the old theme of being lost still feature in the coming show? We have to wait and see.
