Over the past two decades, there has been anincreasing amount of international interests onChinese contemporary art, from the record-breakingauction results to exhibitions featuring livingChinese artists all over the world. Within thisexciting art world, a certain group of Chineseartists who live outside of the country deserve aspecial attention. This book examines the culturalidentity of overseas Chinese artists in the late20th century through an in-depth case study of HuangYong Ping, a Chinese-born artist living in Paris.Huang s story is in many ways representative of thisgroup of Chinese artists, who moved to the Westerncountries in the late 80s and the 90s. The author sinvestigation of Huang is set within the frame ofthe following concerns: How has the migrationexperience affected Huang's notion of his owncultural identity? How does he strategically tacklethe cultural conflicts in his artistic practices?How does he reconstruct his own cultural identitywhile working within the global context? Instead ofgiving a definite conclusion, this book provides analternative perspective for new understanding ofcultural differences and identity.
