Zhang Dali's 'AK-47' (2009) is a screenprint in colors on wove paper that confronts themes of identity, propaganda, and militarism. The artwork features a haunting portrait composed of repetitive text spelling 'AK-47,' symbolizing the infamous assault rifle associated with global conflict. The words densely overlap, creating a grayscale tonal effect that gradually reveals a face, possibly that of a soldier or revolutionary figure, blending individuality and anonymity. The meticulous layering of the text underscores the pervasive influence of violence in modern society while questioning the human cost of political and ideological systems. Measuring 48 x 40 inches for the image and 54 1/2 x 46 3/4 inches with margins, this work is part of an edition of 60, signed and dated by the artist. It was published by Pace Editions, Inc. and is framed for preservation and display.

What is Street art?
Street Art is artwork created and executed in public spaces, outside of traditional art venues. It gained popularity during the 1980s graffiti art boom and has since evolved into various forms and styles. Common forms of Street Art include pop-up art, sticker art, stencil graffiti, and street installations or sculptures. Terms like guerrilla art, neo-graffiti, post-graffiti, and urban art are often used interchangeably to describe this genre, which challenges conventional ideas about where and how art should be displayed.
