Li Zhanyang

Li Zhanyang (born 1969) is a Chinese contemporary sculptor known for his hyperrealistic figurative works that satirize and critique Chinese society, consumerism, and political culture. Working primarily in painted fiberglass and resin, he creates uncanny, life-sized figures that blend dark humor with incisive social commentary, drawing comparisons to Western pop art and political satire. He is considered a significant voice in the generation of Chinese artists who emerged after the Cultural Revolution, addressing themes of modernization, social hierarchy, and the absurdities of contemporary Chinese life.
