Introduction

Tang Maohong simultaneously references and undermines art history and popular culture. He has integrated a variety of visual elements and subject matters, producing works that inhabit the ever-blurred border between elegant art and popular illustration. His work is absurd, magical, humorous and confrontational, hinting that the juxtapositions of figurative objects might be more than just illusions. Tang Maohong's pictorial universe reflects not only a new subject – a psyche whose internal eclectic imagination is echoed in the environment of constantly flowing images - but also the inversion of out-grown traditions.

"Faced with various contemporary economic and political issues, I can't avoid and thus respond by making some restrained narratives in the form of illustrations. Presenting the plot that is both real and false is not to explore the truth, but to temporarily cut off rational thinking, so that human desires can be revealed in another fictional situation."—Tang Maohong
