Xu Zhen (Shanghai, 1977) is one of the most interesting artists of his generation. Not only is he distinctive and controversial in his own right, but he is the artistic linchpin of Shanghai's Bizart center.
His work in this arts center has made him a stimulating force for many younger artists. An overarching theme of Xu Zhen's work is the human body, and in particular the place it occupies within the social structures of contemporary China.
