'The Golfer' (2007) is a rare and exciting painted and bronze figurative sculpture in the round by internationally acclaimed Chinese Post-Modern mixed-media artist Huang Gang (China, b. 1961) that combines traditional Chinese themes and methods with a Western popular culture. Here, Huang portrays a beautiful Chinese woman playing golf while wearing high heels, depicted frozen in mid-swing, with an assault rifle slung casually over her shoulder instead of a golf bag. She stands atop a round, PRC inspired red star embellished platform that is also painted red, the most iconic color related to Communist China. In this way, Huang addresses the new generation of women of China, both beautiful and feminine, yet bold and liberated. This work measures 27.6 x 20 inches (70 cm x 50.80 cm), is from an edition of 18 and is in perfect condition.
