Zhou Tiehai

Zhou Tiehai is a Chinese artist who, through his appropriations and conceptual work, wittily manages to take advantage of the art market while exposing its absurdities. Even though his large-scale airbrush paintings are highly sought after, the artist doesn't contribute to the artworks final form - the whole process is executed by a team of assistants.
