Original lithograph on paper - Limited edition of 199 - In Excellent condition - Hand signed by Wang Guangyi // Face of the Believer by Wang Guangyi is a lithograph that captures the essence of Chinese socialist realism with a modern pop art sensibility. Created in 2003, this limited edition print features a stylized portrait of a young woman in a military uniform, set against a radiant background of red and yellow rays emanating from her. The composition, with its bold use of primary colors and strong contrast, recalls propaganda art, evoking themes of patriotism and ideological conviction. The woman’s confident expression and the repetitive motif of text across the rays contribute to the work's sense of unity and intensity. Guangyi is known for critiquing and recontextualizing cultural symbols, and this piece exemplifies his exploration of belief systems, collective identity, and the power of visual symbols in shaping societal values.
