HUANG Gang (Chinese, b. 1961) PrintBeijing My Home 2008 Mixed media on board 150 x 150 cm Signed lower right Huang Gang in Chinese and English In the recent series of Huang Gang's works, he combineds ancient New Year woodblock prints with political images. Among the combination, an essential union is linked and expresses a broken variation. It is a kind of art enrichment. He has collected many traditional New Year woodblock prints and collaged them into the background of paintings. It is like putting fashionable visual images or pentacle star of the Cultural Revolution into paintings and representing the following points: (a) a connection between various mass cultures in order to establish a historical narration; (b) respect from the artist - he said several times that when mocking traditional culture, its value also has to be respected. Traditional culture is part of the resources and motivation of future cultural development; (c) traditional visual images are revealed in a modern interpretation based on respecting traditional cultural resources. Because of this concept, I know his serious creative attitude is supported by elegant visual forms. (text by Sheng Wei)
