// This untitled painting by Zhao Bo is an oil on canvas measuring 50 x 50 cm. The artwork depicts a surreal, satirical portrait of a woman with an exaggerated, almost cartoonish expression. Behind her, iconic symbols of globalization, such as a Coca-Cola sign and a panda (a symbol associated with China), merge with urban elements like high-rise buildings and umbrellas. The composition, with its bright colors and playful yet critical approach, reflects Zhao Bo’s exploration of contemporary Chinese society and its intersection with Western consumer culture. The painting’s blend of realism and caricature emphasizes the tension between traditional and modern influences, creating a thought-provoking visual narrative.

What is Chinese contemporary art?
Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
