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 body art?
Body art involves creating art directly on or with the human body. Common forms include body piercings and tattoos, but it also encompasses practices like branding, scarification, scalping, body painting, full-body tattoos, body shaping, and sub-dermal implants. Body art can also refer to a subcategory of performance art where the artist's body is central to the artwork.
