CHINA FLOWER, 2007 Öl auf Leinwand.
120 x 100 cm.
Rechts unten signiert „Xu de Qi“.
Gerahmt.

Die Serie „China Flower“ bedient sich typisch westlicher Kunst: hier Andy Warhols berühmte Portraits des chinesischen Kommunisten Mao Zedong und der prächtigen Blumenwelt der Georgia O’Keefe. Warhols Mao-Bildnisse von 1973 reflektieren das Interesse der Medien an der Eröffnung der diplomatischen Beziehungen zwischen China und dem Westen. Xu De Qis Bildsprache wiederspiegelt diese Entwicklung, aber diesmal aus der Sicht des Ostens.

Framed.

Xu De Qi studied at the China Central Academy of Fine Arts and the Shandong Normal University and has exhibited extensively in Shandong, China and Turin, Italy. His China Flower Series, exhibited in RMCAD’s Rotunda building, reappropriates quintessential imagery from Western art, centered upon Andy Warhol’s iconic portraits of the Chinese Communist leader, Mao Zedong. The paintings include references to the work of Georgia O’Keefe, Pablo Picasso, and Henri Matisse. Warhol’s Mao portraits, produced in 1973, reflect the media’s attention to the opening of diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China in the early 1970s. Xu De Qi’s work thus returns the reflection, but in this case, from East to West.
