Zhao Bo – Untitled (Coca Cola Panda), 2005 – Oil on canvas

'Untitled (Coca Cola Panda)' by Zhao Bo is an oil on canvas measuring 50 × 50 cm, painted in 2005. A grimacing female figure with exaggerated, mask-like features dominates the square composition against a flat sky-blue ground. A giant panda clings to a pole bearing a red Coca-Cola sign at upper left; a green umbrella branded 'Sun' rests on her right shoulder; a partially visible Chinese-language billboard rises behind her head. The figure wears a white shirt with a red neckerchief — a detail echoing the dress codes of Chinese Communist Youth League membership. Zhao Bo, born in 1976, works at the intersection of Chinese pop iconography and social satire. The collision of state symbols, Western brand signage, and a panda — itself a freighted symbol of national identity — reflects his stated view that contemporary life is saturated with 'malicious symbols that are morphing and becoming conceptualized.'
