Wang Guangyi — Coca Cola (Green), from Great Criticism
Wang Guangyi

Coca Cola (Green), from Great Criticism

Wang Guangyi's *Coca Cola (Green)* is a striking lithograph from his celebrated *Great Criticism* series, in which the Chinese artist juxtaposes the bold visual language of Maoist propaganda with iconic Western consumer brand imagery. Rendered in vivid colors on Rives BFK paper, the work depicts heroic Socialist Realist figures alongside the instantly recognizable Coca-Cola logo, creating a provocative dialogue between communist ideology and capitalist culture. The composition serves as a sharp commentary on globalization, consumerism, and the collision of Eastern and Western cultural forces in the post-Mao era.
