LV Yanjun solo exhibition
by Yang Gallery
Location: Yang Gallery Singapore
Artist(s): LV Yanjun
Date: 7 Jan - 7 Feb 2012

There are a number of works about the Revolution Period in Chinese history, mostly being labeled as 'political pop art' or 'cynical realism'. Many times these works feature characters that are either warped, numb or abnormal. However, the young girls in Lv Yanjun's paintings are amazingly beautiful. In fact, they often remind us of the beauty and youthfulness that were throttled during those mad years.

Sometimes in Lv's paintings the characters are disproportional, but such disproportion embodies a sculpture-like, aesthetic feeling of solemnity and peacefulness, and this is a beautiful feeling without further reasoning. Like how the famus Chinese painter Qi Raisin once said, wonder exists between likeness & unlikeness. The essence of cacristy comes into full view through Lv's works; that art is not just a blinded replica of reality, but a powerful and hearty expression of the spirit in real life.

Lv focuses on the facial expressions of the young women, his exquisite painting style reveals the delicacy of oriental women's porcelain-like skin texture. The pale faces undr the caps shows an incarnation of the depression and confinement of the past. It is rebellious, it reveals desires, and it strikes against our vision.

Despite his physical disabillities, Lv Yanjun continued his artistic pursuit with vigour. His pieces have been exhibited internationally and Private Collectors from all over the world collect his works.
