Biography
Qi Zhilong (Chinese, b.1962), one of the leading figures of Gaudy Art in China, was born in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, China. In 1992, four years after he graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Qi moved into the Summer Palace Artist Village in Beijing where Political Pop and Cynical Realism just started gaining popularity. With the intention to revolt against the Political Pop movement, Qi started his consumer icons series, using oil and paint to commercialize the idealistic icons created by Political Pop, as well as the icons that it was trying to confront. In November 1992, Qi sold his first painting of the consumer icons series.
