    What is a neo-realist? Sorry if that makes me dumb.

    not dumb in the least!
    neorealism in art is when the subject depicted is natural and authentic. in this case, Xiaodong paints images of modern china as modern china really appears. it doesn't necessarily refer to the style or how "realistic" the image looks.
