Meng Qingxin - GIANT
In contemporary painting circles, Meng Qingxin is the kind of a talented painter with a strong politically connotation and also a border crosser of the political society. Due to the combination of art and politics, his personal expression faces difficult problems. Until now especially the expression of important political personalities within his modern style paintings caused many conflicts.
