Biography

For many contemporary kinesisk artists, the iconography of their nation has been the main source of inspiration.

Shen Jingdong also uses these communists icons in his paintings and sculptures, but he does this a particular way. He paints the soldiers and the world that he got to know during the sixteen years he spent in the army.
