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 appropriation?

Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
