This is an annual mural competition honoring the life and work of Martin Luther King, Jr. . The competition was jointly organized by Hi USA and SAIC. 9 finalists should paint a 3m*2m tempera on the storefront windows of the restaurant of Hi USA-Chicago within the given time, and participate the 45 days long exhibition …
I used the approach of Pop Art. I chose popular elements as the source of my creation, and recombined them in my painting, so that it’s easy to be remembered and disseminate. I combined six equivalent sizes of pure colors into a whole, for expressing the theme of this activity, that is, people with different skin colors formed our society together, we should be treated equally. This is the most important embodiment of modern civilization.
I think this is a meaningful activity, especially in a multinational country, everybody in this country should have the equal right and duty, and also deserve the same respect. It’s important and prerequisite.
