 ao Yan (1968 Hunan) is a prominent painter best-known for his skillful portraiture. His works are often very light colored, like pencil sketches and show the human figure in almost psychological dimensions -- with elongated heads, sometimes portrayed from the ground, as if the artist is lying on the ground. His paintings of a Western man named Thomas are well-known. Mao Yan is a graduate of the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. He now lives and works in Nanjing. |
