Welcome Shen Jingdong

Red Star Press Welcomes Shen Jingdong. NY Magazine has a great summary of his background...

"Shen Jingdong, who served for sixteen years in the Chinese military, merges Pop Art with Marxist propaganda. Past exhibitions of his have, unsurprisingly, been banned in China. Mao's smiley army, playful yet brittle, are still collected the world over."

Condition: Due to the hand finishing of this print, these are Artist Quality
