Modern Chinese Art


This sculpture, from Modern China, is reminiscent of Zhu Ming's public appearances in a bubble. It appears as if a person is trapped inside an aluminum foil sheet. At first glance, you might assume someone was posing under this sheet and staying completely still, or is trapped under the guise of this sheet.


This painting was very interesting because it resembles the graphics of a 1980's or 1990's video game. However, it is a mockery of Mao and his typical salute. It's interesting to see the different approaches to insulting parts of Communist Chinese culture.


This photo of a sculpture in modern China, appears to be taking a a page out of Botero's work, where he painted fattened versions of people. If you look closer, the figures have pig noses and are wearing pink versions of a Santa Clause costume; a clear mockery of the gluttony in Communist China.
