Liu Xiaodong creates large scale oil paintings that examine Chinese family life, identity, and social relationships with a raw psychological intensity. His figurative portraits share Zhang Xiaogang's focus on capturing the emotional weight of familial bonds within contemporary Chinese society.

Yan Pei-Ming paints expressive oil portraits that explore identity, memory, and cultural heritage with a haunting emotional stillness similar to the Bloodline Series. His monumental figurative works carry the same sense of psychological depth and collective cultural memory found in Zhang Xiaogang's family portraits.
