Much of his landscape paintings are influenced by the Song dynasty and he also uses zen and Buddhist themes in his work. One of the most famous artists in China today, Mr. Huang who started out as a poet, has had exhibitions of his work all over the world. His biggest controversy came in 2014, when his porcelain busts of Mao weren't allowed to leave China for an exhibition in France. The busts were considered to be disrespectful to the deceased communist leader. Huang Yan is also a businessman and author. He operates his own art gallery, Must Be Contemporary Art, and writes mostly about fellow contemporary Chinese artists. His wife, Zhang Tiemei, is also an artist and they often work together.

What is appropriation?
Artwork by Shepard Fairey

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.
