James Hyman Gallery, in association with Contrasts Gallery (Beijing and Shanghai), is pleased to announce a major exhibition of paintings by Sun Liang opening 8 October at James Hyman Gallery in London. Sun Liang initially established his reputation as one of the Generation of 85 group of young Chinese artists who with growing liberalism, for the first time engaged with international contemporary art and culture. He was included in the important exhibition China / Avant Garde at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Beijing in 1989 and in 1993 was one of the very first artists to represent China at the Venice Biennale.
