North Korean art sells in China despite UN sanctions over nuclear programme
Friday, 3 November 2023 A Chinese art gallery, The Paintings Say Arirang, is openly selling North Korean art in Beijing, despite UN sanctions prohibiting such sales. The gallery, which operates a studio for North Korean artists, showcases the unique socialist realist style of North Korean art that appeals to a niche audience. China's lax enforcement of the sanctions targeting North Korea's nuclear program allows for the continued sale of North Korean art. The art is seen as a form of propaganda, with artists working directly for North Korea's authorities to create art glorifying the state and its ideology.
