"The voice of the 'superfluous' people: painting in China in the 1980s and 1990s" (original) (raw)
AI-generated Abstract
This paper examines the transformation of painting in China during the late 1980s and early 1990s, focusing on artists who responded to the socio-political landscape following the Tiananmen Square incident. It highlights the dual influences of Western Pop Art and traditional Chinese iconography, noting how these artists expressed their social missions through innovative forms while grappling with aspects of consumerism and political critique. The unique experiences of this generation of artists are discussed, revealing how their works reflected a desire to deconstruct existing cultural narratives and engage in social debate.

Liu Dahong: Stranded Objects and Shame in Chinese Contemporary Post-Socialist Art
This is a paper arising from ARC funded research 2008-2013 looking at posters and post-socialism. I want to thank the many collaborators on that work, not least the artists, but also Ming Liang, Leicia Peterson, and Harriet Evans and more latterly modernist colleagues at UNSW. http://affirmations.arts.unsw.edu.au/index.php?journal=aom&page=index
