| dc.description | Overall side view from the right, showing horizontal sections and gap around skull; Previously exhibited at the Vancouver Sculpture Biennale (January 2010). With a vivid chrome finish, the metal sculpture is constructed from horizontal sections that were purposefully staggered, representing his broken legacy. Atop is a very playful inclusion of baby (with Mao's head) holding a balance stick on top of Lenin’s protruding head, as if walking a tight rope of his risky Marxist ideals. The style has been called "cynical realism." Gao Shen (Zhen) and Gao Qiang, both born in Jinan, Shandong Province are Beijing-based artists who work together, known as the Gao Brothers (Gao shi xiong di). They are also authors, photographers, and movie producer-directors. [Biography from LCNAF] | en_US |
