GowithYamo: Mao and His Portrayal in Chinese Contemporary Art

Mao Zedong's face is one that most people can instantly recognise; over the years, his image has become more than a mere portrait and has acquired the status of an icon, a symbol for revolution. The current exhibition at Omer Tiroche Gallery explores the impact the Communist leader had on artists who grew up during the Cultural Revolution and how his image still impacts Chinese contemporary art.
