Pieter Lategan - Chinese Girl 2.0 (2025)

Artwork Description Title: Chinese Girl 2.0 Medium: Acrylic on Canvas (or your medium) Artist: Pieter Lategan Description: This painting is a modern reimagining of Vladimir Tretchikoff’s iconic 1952 work, Chinese Girl — known to many as The Green Lady. In my version, I bring her forward into the 21st century, into a world shaped by new powers, global conflict, and shifting identities. In the original, her green skin made her exotic and distant. In Chinese Girl 2.0, she becomes more aware — no longer just looked at, but looking back. Her gaze now reflects a rising East, global surveillance, and the powerful economic and political influence of modern China. She is silent, but not submissive. Her stillness holds tension — between China’s dominance, Russia’s defiance, and the West’s uncertainty, including the populist return of figures like Donald Trump. Her expression mirrors the weight of modern history: environmental anxiety, digital power, and the loss of Western moral authority. While Tretchikoff’s original symbolized mystery and beauty, this new version carries questions. What happens when the East is no longer “other,” but central? What does it mean when tradition and technology merge under authoritarian rule? In this painting, she becomes a mirror of our time — a symbol of how power has shifted, and how art must keep watching. In Chinese Girl 2.0, she doesn't ask for attention — she demands reflection.
