Chinese landscape series: Winter (2 works, 150 x 120 cm each) // Face Tattoo by Huang Yan, part of the Chinese Landscape Series: Winter, is a 2005 photographic diptych that merges traditional Chinese landscape painting with contemporary portraiture. Each photograph, measuring 150 x 120 cm, features a man’s face adorned with a meticulously painted winter landscape, transforming the face into a canvas. The landscapes, depicting serene natural scenes with trees and mountains, are evocative of classical Chinese scroll art. By overlaying these traditional motifs onto human skin, Yan explores themes of cultural identity, temporality, and the relationship between nature and humanity. The limited edition work reflects a harmonious yet provocative blend of past and present, art and self.

What is Performance Art?
Performance Art is a genre of fine art that is traditionally interdisciplinary, involving various art forms. It can be scripted or unscripted, random or carefully orchestrated, spontaneous, or meticulously planned, with or without audience participation. Performance Art can be presented live or through media, with the artist either present or absent. It typically involves four basic elements: space, the performer’s body or presence through a medium, time, and the relationship between performer and audience. The artwork consists of actions performed by an individual or group in a specific time and space.
