(52.7 x 41.3 cm.)Provenance: Collected by Marc Richards from 1998-2002; Ethan Cohen Fine Arts, New York; Wu Shanzhuan (born 1960) is a contemporary Chinese artist known for his conceptual and satirical approach to art, often blending text, calligraphy, and commercial imagery to critique consumerism and political ideology. Originally from Zhoushan, China, Wu rose to prominence in the 1980s with his provocative installations and performances, including Red Humour, which challenged official propaganda through absurdist reinterpretations of Maoist slogans. His work spans painting, sculpture, and mixed media, frequently incorporating elements of Dada and Pop Art. Now based in Germany and China, Wu continues to explore language, identity, and societal contradictions in his practice. Abell provides in-house shipping for select items.
