Yue Minjun
Joy is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been the subject of philosophical inquiry for centuries. At its core, joy is an emotional state characterized by a sense of elation, pleasure, and contentment. But it is more than just a fleeting feeling. Born in the year 1962 in the bustling city ofDaqing, China, Yue Minjun’s fascination with art had been a constant in his life following him through the turbulent waters of revolutionary China. It was the human rights violations and political repressions he faced during his upbringing that truly shaped his relationship with the medium and its power to truly, and comically, convey his lived experience.
Anh Duong - Reflections of you
“...Playing with the viewer’s gaze, her use of dramatised doe eyes hypnotises us, urging your to keep on looking and decipher her romances. Duong’s caricatures are reminiscent of her daily life and should be read like a visual journal. She intentionally exposes the fragility, beauty, and raw tenderness of her subjects. Each canvas representing another accurate depiction of individuals in non-idealised positions.”
