Fang Lijun è nato nel 1963 a Handan, in Cina. Ha studiato all’ Accademia di Belle Arti di Pechino, dove tuttora vive e lavora. Si è fatto conoscere per il suo contributo al movimento cinico realista cinese, un gruppo di artisti critici nei confronti del Partito Comunista Cinese, che comprendeva anche altri artisti come Liu Wei e Zhang Xiaogang. Il lavoro di Fang Lijun affronta la questione dei diritti umani, della moralità e dell'oppressione politica attraverso immagini colorate, surreali e ironiche; elemento spesso ricorrente un volto dalla testa rasata, a rappresentare gli apatici seguaci del Partito. Ha esposto, tra gli altri, al China Art Museum e al Today Art Museum di Pechino, agli Staatliche Museen di Berlino, al Museum of Fine Arts di Berna.
