Huang Yan's diptych Face Tattoo, 2005, photograph, man’s face painted with traditional Chinese winter landscape scene.

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 Political Pop?

Political Pop was an art movement that emerged in China during the 1980s, blending the Pop Art style of Western countries with the socialist realism of China. This movement arose during a time of rapid social and political change in China, as artists sought to create works that questioned and critiqued these cultural shifts. Political Pop often juxtaposed iconic images from Chinese propaganda with Western consumer culture, highlighting the tensions between tradition and modernization.
