Tong Zhengang was born in Xinjiang, China in 1959. He studied at the China PLA Art Academy and the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing. His works have been celebrated across the globe at the Moualot Lithoprint Factory and the Lithograph Museum in Paris, with solo exhibitions held at the Barcelona Contemporary Museum of Art, Spain and in Hong Kong.

Tong expresses his feelings and understanding on the value and meaning of everyday life by depicting the female in the appearance of a portrait. He positions the female together with the male in similar environments to establish a striking relationship between his personal and objective view of the male. His paintings show not only the differences in human identities, but also criticize how people are differentiated by society.
