Zhang Haiying (Chinese, b.1972) - "Anti-Vice", 2008
SOLD
Oil on canvas. 200x300 cm. Signed and dated in the lower center.
Born in Beijing, Zhang Haiying, is a painter known for his recent Anti-Vice Campaign, a series of socio-political pieces referencing the Chinese government’s efforts to stifle sex trafficking and pornography. By recreating images found on the Internet on the canvas in a distinct, painterly style, he wishes to raise awareness of the inequalities women face in Chinese society. He marks the canvas with his recognizable broad and swooping brushstrokes and gray, muted color palettes. His figures blend in with dark, murky backgrounds, evoking movement as if caught on a film camera with a slow shutter speed.
