Sitting Man, from Mask Series

Zeng Fanzhi, Last Supper (Mask series), silkscreen, reimagined Last Supper with masked figures in red scarves and calligraphic background.

34 color silkscreen print on BFK Rivers paper // Last Supper (Mask series) by Zeng Fanzhi is a compelling silkscreen print from 2002, part of his renowned Mask series. This 34-color silkscreen on BFK Rives paper reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper with a striking contemporary twist. The figures, dressed in red scarves reminiscent of Chinese youth uniforms, wear identical expressionless masks, symbolizing conformity and anonymity in modern society. Their gestures and body language contrast with the stoic masks, adding an eerie tension to the composition. The background includes calligraphic elements, blending traditional Chinese art with Western religious iconography. Zeng’s work critiques social facades and the loss of individuality, creating a powerful and haunting commentary on identity and cultural expectations.

What is figurative art?

Sometimes known as Figurativism, figurative art refers to sculptures and paintings that are clearly or specifically derived from real objects, making them representational. The term figurative art is often used in contrast to abstract art. However, since the emergence of abstract art, figurative art has come to describe any form of modern art that has strong references to the real world or actual situations.
