Liu Wei, 1974, Nantong Jiangsu, China

When viewing Liu Wei's works from the front for the first time, it is hard to understand since we are used to viewing and understanding something from the 'front'.

 In fact, Liu Wei expresses his thoughts in another way in his works. From the side of these pieces you will find some historical politicians, movie stars and living scene. It is surprising that they are so clear when you view them from the side and not from the front like we're used to.  

                                      

      
Liu Liguo, 1961, Heilongjiang, China 

Liu Liguo is an example of the Chinese style we call 'Gaudy Art'. The substance in Liu Liguo's works are a reflection on consumer society. Whether its a sculpture or a painting, everything is materially opulent, dripping with sensuality and abundance.

 YANG GALLERY Beijing is proud to present Liu Liguo's Solo Exhibition 'Trafficking Imagination' from the 27th April - 18th May 2012.

 Ren Zhe, 1983  

Ren Zhe's sculptures showcase his deep regard for the Chinese culture. Seemingly traditional, his concept is in fact closely related to the essence of contemporary art.

Ren Zhe does not strive to create a sense of realism; but instead, focusing on the characteristic pose of a movement to give an aura of heroic grandeur.




Ma Jun, 1974, Qingdao, Shandong Province, China  

Ma Jun is one of the most recognized Chinese Contemporary sculptors who specializes in the ceramics medium.

Each of Ma Jun's sculptures are completely covered in traditional Qing flower patterns, birds, dragons and daily sceneries. He makes no reference to modern brand signage, but instead imprints the pieces with symbols that denote their imagined official' ancestral origins during the ancient China ruling. His way of reference to the dynamic past serves as a concept of rich cultural and historical tradition. 



Yan Zhixiong, 1979, Hunan, China 

Yan Zhixiong has achieved China's highest individual photography award the 'Chinese Gold' and was also awarded the 'Portrait Photography Gold Medal' in the
prestigious China Photographic Art Exhibition.

Involving in documentary, portrait, fashion, advertising, conceptual photography and installation images, his works have already won more than 70 awards in various photography competitions in China, Austria, Ukraine, France, Belgium, Hong Kong & Macau.




Wu Rigen, Inner Mongolia, China  

Wu Rigen's works are widely collected by acclaimed contemporary art museums and institutions such as Beijing Huantie Art Museum and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. 
'Crossroads' is one of his most iconic works. A sheep is portrayed wandering at the 'crossroad', representing the schizophrenia of postmodern man and revealing the human fate of eternal return. By using the rhetoric of duality, Wu Rigen formally presents the 'rib of life'.
