Jiang Shuo is a successful female sculptor who along with her sculptor husband Wu Shaoxiang recently opened a studio in Beijing. The couple left China in 1989 for Austria with their young son, and became Austrian citizens in 1993. In Europe, Jiang became famous for her series of Red Guards bronze armies. Wu Shaoxiang worked initially in stone, but now uses coins and bronze to make sculptures that parody excessive consumerism and obsession with money. In the mid 1990s, they exhibited at Plum Blossoms galleries in Hong Kong and New York.
