Title: Chinese Girl 2.0 – A Mirror of a Shifting World
Artist: Pieter Lategan 2025
In Chinese Girl 2.0, I use Vladimir Tretchikoff’s iconic image as a starting point, but I bring her into 2025. She no longer looks away — she looks back.
Her silence is not submissive but charged with tension. She carries the weight of a world where power is shifting: China’s rise, Russia’s defiance, and the West’s moral uncertainty. This work is not just a portrait but a conversation about identity, power, and resistance.

Against the backdrop of the United States’ decision to suspend almost all aid to South Africa, the painting reflects the question: who controls the narrative? Who is watching whom?
I am an Afrikaner entrepreneur and artist who believes that art is a tool for dialogue and awareness. My work contributes to the larger discourse on freedom, tradition, and the future of our communities.
