Sheng Qi: Post Mao / Published and distributed by Hua GallerySummarization of Content
Catalogue published for Sheng Qi's exhibition 'Post Mao' at the Hua Gallery, London, 6 Nov -20 Dec 2012, focuses on portraits of Mao.For decades, Sheng Qi's work has focused on human lives as political subjects affected by historical events. His works featured in the catalogue mark a new, sombre era in his subjects. The paintings themselves take on a tangible life as drips of paint invoke the idea of blood, sweat or tears which come out of physical human pain. The repetition of Mao's silhouette, framed by individuals, is also significant - power is invoked in the conception and the ordering of the work, but the theme of power is also embedded in a dark narrative of state violence and control over individuals.
