He has participated in major group exhibitions at Tate Modern (2010) and the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum in Michigan (2012-13) and enjoyed three very successful solo shows in China, two at Beijing Commune and at Taikang Space, a prominent non-profit organization funded by Taikang Life, an insurance company.
