A monumental portrait rendered in Zeng Fanzhi's signature gestural brushwork, this oil on canvas depicts the iconic visage of Mao Zedong through a web of frantic, layered strokes that simultaneously construct and obscure the image. The energetic mark-making creates a sense of psychological tension, fragmenting the familiar propaganda idol into something raw and unsettled. Through this technique, Zeng interrogates the weight of collective memory and political mythology in modern Chinese history.
