Original lithograph on paper - Limited edition of 199 - In Excellent condition - Hand signed by Wang Guangyi // Face of the Believer by Wang Guangyi is a lithograph that captures the essence of Chinese socialist realism with a modern pop art sensibility. Created in 2003, this limited edition print features a stylized portrait of a young woman in a military uniform, set against a radiant background of red and yellow rays emanating from her. The composition, with its bold use of primary colors and strong contrast, recalls propaganda art, evoking themes of patriotism and ideological conviction. The woman’s confident expression and the repetitive motif of text across the rays contribute to the work's sense of unity and intensity. Guangyi is known for critiquing and recontextualizing cultural symbols, and this piece exemplifies his exploration of belief systems, collective identity, and the power of visual symbols in shaping societal values.

Political Pop was an art movement that emerged in China during the 1980s, blending the Pop Art style of Western countries with the socialist realism of China. This movement arose during a time of rapid social and political change in China, as artists sought to create works that questioned and critiqued these cultural shifts. Political Pop often juxtaposed iconic images from Chinese propaganda with Western consumer culture, highlighting the tensions between tradition and modernization.
