    SHOK-1′S HEART-SHAPED NOOSE MURAL “CENSORED” IN CHINA
    London-based graffiti artist SHOK-1 says that he was invited to paint a giant mural in China, but after surveying his work, the government wants it “completely censored out” and presumably, buffed. The artist says the mural has a personal meaning to him, but is leaving his heart-noose-on-red theme up to interpretation. “As far as what they think it means or what the problem actually is – they won’t tell me,” he writes. “I think unless you’ve worked with the Chinese, it will probably be difficult to understand but things are... indirect.”
