1963

Zhang Dali  张大力 was born in January, in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province,

 

in Northeast  China.

   

1987

He graduated from the National Academy of Arts & Design, Beijing.

   

1989

He moved to Italy, in Bologna where he discovered the art of graffiti.

   

1995

When he came back, he travelled around Beijing and spray-painted his 

 

giant profile on all the buildings in ruins slated for demolition. Some are

 

marked AK-47 in reference to he Russsian machine gun, symbol of violence.

   

2005

Used as pattern in his series of portraits of workers seeking for a job,  

 

AK- 47 was used to show their vulnerability.

   

2003/2005

In Chinese Offspring, he symbolized, in resin, 100 migrant workers, hung  

 

upside down to indicate their inability to change their fate.

   

2005/2010

In  The second Story, the artist highlighted the rigging in photography,

 

by propaganda, in China, confronting the official pictures retouched

 

and the original of 1950-1970.

   
 

He lives and works in Beijing, China.
