Alex Guofeng Cao is best known for his large-format portraits of popular cultural icons. On closer inspection, however, it becomes apparent that the sitter is composed of a constellation of tiny repetitive images - each iconic in its own right and each very slightly different from its neighbor. This "mosaic" of tiny images creates a playful dialogue with the main portrait.
