Artist Yong Xu Zhang

Artist and painter Yong Xu Zhang (on the left) met with Bob Lee (Executive Director of AAAC).  He was exhibited at AAAC in 1990 in the Tiananmen Square Witnesses exhibition under the name "Deng" for as a student in  the Square he could not then risk using his real name.  His paintings were quite different from the 300 artists who took part in these Tiananmen Square exhibits.  Quite different from the tone of protest art was his allegorical and portrait art.
