US Town Arts Center Removes Paintings Depicting President Xi Jinping

"Organizers of a recent exhibit of paintings by U.S.-based Chinese artist Weng Bing removed three out of 38 paintings, citing "political" content, RFA has learned.

Arts officials in the Town of Cary in North Carolina removed one painting depicting Chinese president Xi Jinping standing on the shoulders of late supreme leader Mao Zedong, surrounded by a sea of skulls.

A painting showing a hand reaching out to grasp the world with China colored in black, and a portrait of Xi splattered with grey paint were also taken down from the exhibit in the town's Senior Center."

"She was inspired in particular by activist Dong Yaoqiong, who was sent for "compulsory treatment" after she streamed live video of herself splashing ink on a poster of President Xi in protest at "authoritarian tyranny" on July 4, 2018.

Dong, who made her protest in SHANGHAI, is now being held as a psychiatric patient in a women's ward in Hunan's Zhuzhou No. 3 Hospital."

This is true ART BRUT: The symbolic depiction of Chairman Mao buried in a sea of SKULLS representing the over 65 MILLION Chinese dissidents slaughtered under his COMMUNIST regime. (See details in book, The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression by Jean-Louis Panné ) That painting and the other two would indicate that things have not changed in China with it's huge ORGAN HARVESTING programs:

PIZZAGATE connection: Art has been used to promote certain agendas, including dark rituals and death. We need to have our own PIZZAGATE GALLERY and display artist's work like Weng Bing's.
