This series of paintings by the Chinese-born Zhang Haiying is wicked. Even though at a first glance one might be drawn into them because of the bright palette in play and the highly sensual imagery, the series itself dares to go much much further. In reality, the paintings are based on photographs that Haying found on the web of official anti-vice campaigns that aim to crack down on prostitution and pornography in China. Also, its fair to mention that his craft is top-notch.
