  1. HUANG YAN 1966 Born in Jilin, Jilin Province He is particularly known for his series of landscape on body works which are classical paintings directly painted on the body or face of the artist.

  2. Huang Yan 1966: Born in Jilin, Jilin Province, ChinaHe currently lives and Works between Changchun and Beijing. “Landscape is a way for me to reason things out; landscape is proof that I can use objects to unburden my feelings; landscape is a place where my soul is at peace; landscape is an abode in which my mortal body can reside; landscape is a release for my Buddhist ideas. I am a man who paints landscapes on the body. In the midst of a big city teeming with human life, in the humble room where I lead a secluded life, I am not a swordsman; I am not a gambler, still less am I a blind person.

  3. Huang Yan is a contemporary Chinese painter. One of his preferred mediums is the human body, upon which he often paints one of his favourite themes, landscapes, and often as performance art which is then photographed. T he artist says that 'landscape is an abode in which my mortal body can reside, landscape is my rejection of worldly wrangling, landscape is a release for my Buddhist ideas.' Selections from the Four Seasons 2007series.

  5. There are times where, like flowers fallen into a stream, I forget both the material world and myself, and I just paint landscapes; I just paint on the body with wild strokes and haphazard smears. This is enough, it’s a state of mind that I get into; I believe in intuition; I believe in landscape; I while away the time amid these landscapes...” Chinese Shan-shui Tattoo Series 1999 100 x 80 cm 12 chromogenic photographs Dimensions: 152 by 48 cm 100 x 80 cm

  6. Chinese Contemporary gallery writes "Very few artists, in expressing the encounter between Chinese traditional culture and the contemporary world, have succeeded in simultaneously capturing the fusion and the paradox that this encounter generates. Huang Yan’s work makes reference to a Chinese cultural heritage that is innate to every Chinese person. Chinese Shan-shui Tattoo No 6, 1999 100 x 80 cm

  8. Since the earliest paintings of the Han dynasty, the Golden Age of the Tang Dynasty, and the superb achievements of landscape painting during the Song dynasty, landscape paintings have become the quintessence of Chinese art. Yet Huang Yan breaks this heritage at the same time as giving it a new direction, by transposing it onto the human body, the human body that was very rarely used in the ancient culture of painting, but that has played a very important role in the development of contemporary art in China since the end of the 1970s."

  10. The stunning photograph, Plum (2004), from the series 'Face' by Huang Yan, combines the traditional iconography and philosophy of classic Chinese landscape painting with the contemporary mediums of photography and performance art. For Yan the act of painting these flowers on the models’ faces communicates the oneness of man and nature - enlivening the plants with the models’ eyes.
