Since I already posted about Zhang XiaoGang and Yue Minjun in a post back in June, I'll just post about the other 2 of the 4 major artists.
The three images above are made by Wang Guangyi. Essentially he puts images of communist era propaganda with images of Western goods and consumer culture. It looks like he used stencils on top of his paintings. He is considered a Political Pop artist, which I would assume is a category he would place himself in as well because one of his paintings is a juxtaposition of the name Andy Warhol with communist propaganda imagery.

What medium are these works done in?
Oil on canvas.
I assumed it was acrylic on board or silk screened on canvas at first though because of how graphic they look.
