Yue Minjun: The Saatchi Gallery - Art Gallery



Yue Minjun:              Yue Minjun, with Fang Lijun, is one of the most important Beijing-based artists of the Chinese Avant Garde. He is part of the key movement of the post-1989 era in Chinese Avant Garde art - Cynical Realism.
In the early 1990s Yue Minjun was part of the artistic community at Yuan Ming Yuan. This area on the outskirts of Beijing is a large park where young artists from all over China rented cheap housing from the local farmers. Apart from the low rents, the place had the great advantage of being for from the attentive eye of the authority.
The Paintings, sculptures and installations of Yue Minjun always feature uniform laughing faces. And if these laughing faces are observed carefully, it will be noticed that these faces are the face of Yue Minjun.
