About Zhigang Tang

  • Biography from Kingsley Art Auction (CLOSED)

    Born in Yunnan Province, China, in 1959, and graduated from the Department of Oil Painting at the People's Liberation Army Art Institute.
    Tang Zhi-Gang grew up in an intellectual soldier family. He paints conference in military or even children's childish talking. As Tang once said, "I'm a deep nihilist and a complete pessimist."
    Upon "Children in Meeting," Tang successfully depicted a sense of wild imagination under disciplined life, making irony of twist and absurdity in adult's world. The children dressing in green uniform seem to play on a serious joke, making important decisions freely followed by their heart. On the canvas of innocent infants, Tang Zhi-Gang portrayed his Chinese fable with all honesty.
