Proper nowadays artists - day 79: 王晓勃 Wang Xiao Bo

王晓勃 Wang Xiao Bo (China, 1974)

Wang has that distinctive Chinese-trained style. He does some work with a broken faceted picture plane and some more conventional portraits, but it was his familiar upside-down nudes and figures that are most striking in my opinion.
