Propaganda

On 4th October 2012 my artwork series “Propaganda” was inaugurated at the VIP preview of Taiwan Photo, staged in Taipei, Taiwan. A video of the opening of the Taiwan Photo Art Fair can be viewed via this link: http://youtu.be/rNF-sA8edLM. The series consists of 12 artworks, each depicting a nude figure (6 female and 6 male), upon which propaganda posters of the period in question have been super-imposed. Each figure is depicted against a representational back-ground of mixed-media photographic/digital graphic origin. Each artwork is available as an edition of 4. Measuring approximately 100cm on the longest edge (depending upon the artwork in question). Specific details are shown on the image above. The series is a unique way of presenting the influential imagery and messages used by the government to influence the thinking and mind-set of the population of the People’s Republic of China during the respective periods. A full explanation of the series in the form of PDF documents, can be found via these links: http://photoconception.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/propaganda1.pdf (English) and http://photoconception.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/propaganda_chinese1.pdf (Chinese). Additional information can also be found on my official blog: http://photoconception.com/blog/?p=1025. Subsequent to Taiwan Photo, the artworks have exhibited at numerous gallery exhibitions and also a variety of public venues. The series will also be exhibited at selective gallery venues in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan. In due course, the exhibition will also tour Europe and the U.S. Archival pigment prints on Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl (285gsm). Signed, dated and numbered verso.
