Gilclee, with silkscreen overlay, printed on 490 gram smooth custom paper // Huang Yan’s Temple of Heaven is a vibrant giclée print that captures the renowned architectural beauty of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, while adding a surreal and layered visual effect. The traditional structure stands prominently against a striking blue sky, overlaid with hundreds of small, repeating bird silhouettes that appear to form a patterned sky. This unique combination of digital and silkscreen techniques brings together elements of nature and architecture, bridging historical and modern artistic approaches. The birds symbolize freedom and harmony with nature, contrasting with the grounded, ancient temple, thus creating a dialogue between the natural and built environments. Limited to an edition of 200, this work encapsulates Yan’s ability to reinterpret Chinese heritage with a contemporary vision.

What is Chinese contemporary art?
Chinese Contemporary Art is marked by a wide range of styles and experimental approaches. In the 1980s, avant-garde exhibitions were often shut down by government officials. The 1990s saw the rise of political pop and cynical realism, while China's One-Child Policy influenced artists to explore the individual as a subject matter.
