Before settling in Paris in 1986, Ma Desheng was one of the cofounding members of the Xingxing (“Stars”) group, the first post-Maoist dissident art movement. In 2002, he began to use acrylic paint applied in a thick paste to paint his two sole subjects: women with provocative appearances and stones that sometimes resembled human forms, conceived, in a style that is remarkable in its expressiveness and strong colour contrasts, as the continuation of a traditional painting theme.
