In this art historical paper, Sueann Chen compares artists Cao Fei and Zhang Dali’s approaches to the urbanisation of China — in Beijing and Guangzhou, respectively — in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Chen suggests that although Cao and Zhang’s works differ materially, they both address a sense of urban displacement, reimagining identity to establish a sense of place within their rapidly changing landscapes.
