Fang Lijun (Chinese: 方力钧; born 1963) is a Chinese artist based in Beijing.[1] He was born into a wealthy family with a high social status. In the 1990s, there was a cultural movement[2] in China referred to as Cynical Realism of which Fang Lijun was a member. Living in China during this critical time[2] shaped his worldview in terms of his views on art, human values and morality.
