"16 works from the Segment series" Zhao Bo has made a number of small works which concentrate on one image, honing in one idea. These he calls fragments – little segments from the big scene, each one portraying a juxtaposition, an attitude, political slogans, commercial propaganda, etc. They are flashes of life, caught as if illuminated by a strobe light for one frozen instant that leaves an indelible impression. (Chinese Contemporary.com)

Zhao Bo was born in 1974 in Chongqing Sichuan province, China. He graduated from the Sichuan Institute of Fine Arts in 1998 and currently lives and works in Chongqing, China.
