Print INGRES AND I by Yue Minjun

Yue Minjun is a Chinese contemporary artist known for his style characterized by smiling figures with exaggerated and often grotesque expressions. He uses bright colors and simplified shapes to enhance the visual impact of his compositions. His works address themes related to the human condition, popular culture and contemporary society in China, often subtly critiquing the culture of consumerism and social pressure.

Yue Minjun is best known for his series of paintings "Les Fous" created in the 1990s, which depict characters frozen in absurd positions. This series was created at a time when China was experiencing rapid changes in its transition to a market economy.

Since then, Yue Minjun has become an emblematic figure of contemporary art in China and around the world. His works have been exhibited in internationally renowned museums and galleries and have been sold at auction for considerable sums. His distinctive style and commitment to socially relevant themes have made him an influential figure in contemporary art in China.
