Date: 26 Nov 2011 - 5 Jan 2012
One of the most talented ink painters in China today (and in our humble opinion, he is redefining GONG BI ink painting), Ying Yefu has brought us a selection of his latest works, a series entitled Anesthetic, dealing primarily with the pressures of the new information age society on the individual, and people's attempts to dull their existential pain through mindless occupations and pointless pursuits. Despite this melancholic sounding concept, there are images celebrating the spirit of optimism included in the eclectic mix. He is an artist on a highly unique and individual path to move past this age of banality we find ourselves in... and he wishes to bring you along for this amazing ride.
