Description
Paying homage to Mao’s cultural revolution posters from the 1960s, this piece explores the relationship China has with modern society as a communist state.
China has been known for it’s repressive regime, despite a real fear that it has become more westernised than ever.
With the recent new term of Xi Jinping as head of state, will Chinese people ever feel true democracy? Whilst we think of China as being the world’s most controlled state, do we ever stop and consider the level at which we’re now being policed?

Notes
Heath Kane is an Australian artist, based in the UK. Heath is synonymous with creating bold, striking, often lurid art. He embeds subtle, subversive themes that encourage a political or social conversation. Heath’s approach to art has always been driven by the practice of design thinking: combining his experience in commercial art with the origins of pop-art. He focuses on creating simple, iconic and memorable pieces that have a strong narrative.
Heath has collaborated with Adidas, Stella Artois, Wired Magazine and Saatchi Art, and has partnered with Penguin Books to create the last published covers of George Orwell’s most famous books. Heath exhibits his work in solo shows all around the globe, and his originals and prints frequently appear in leading galleries worldwide.
