余友涵(b.1943) 1943年在上海出生。1973年毕业于北京中央工艺美术学院。如今生活和工作在上海。余友涵是九十年代前
YU YOUHAN 卫艺术运动最具代表性的艺术家之一,他融合了中国的视觉符号和西方艺术的表达方式。其作品曾经对当

影响,明确地描绘了当时的社会主义现实。在构建这个视觉世界前,他实践着一种不拘小节和唯物的抽象
概念。他的作品拆解并重建了这个善变环境的曲折历史。如同图像所呈现的,他使用一种混合和超越了看
似对抗的视觉传统的美学方法论。以他著名的肖像系列,余友涵获得了极高的声誉。
近期,余友涵把他的方向转为探索新的绘画语言和主体事件。最近的作品是一系列风景画——一个田园诗
般的被遗忘的乌托邦。通过对各种视觉手法的持续探索,余友涵的作品总是结合了多重透视和对中国文化
本体结构的研究。他的绘画保持着普遍意义,但同样极富吸引力。

YU Youhan is one of the main artists associated with “Political Pop” aesthetics which emerged
in the avant-garde movement in the 1990s, this unique style fused Chinese iconography
with Western artistic expression. His work has had a major impact on the cultural scene as
well as influenced and inspired a generation of younger artists. YU Youhan's earlier work is
directly influenced by his experiences during the Cultural Revolution, with prominent imagery
of political propaganda and socialist realism. Before constructing this pictorial universe, he
practiced an informal and materialist abstraction. His work unravels and reconstructs the
meandering histories of diverse environments. As reflected in his pictures, YU Youhan employs
an aesthetic methodology that blends and exceeds seemingly contradictory visual traditions. He
earned fame with his highly acclaimed Mao portrait series. He has decorated the iconic images
with flowers that blend into the foreground and background. It is not only a decorative gesture,
but also an attempt to humanize the late leader.
YU Youhan has recently shifted his artistic approach in search of a new paint language and
subject matter. His latest work consists of landscape paintings that resemble pastorals of a
forgotten utopia. YU Youhan's extensive oeuvre combines multiple perspectives and investigates
the structure of cultural identity in China through an ongoing exploration of various pictorial
techniques. His paintings remain ubiquitous yet intriguing.

曾梵志(b.1964) 1964年生于武汉,之后在湖北美院学习油画。如今生活和工作在北京。在他最初的艺术生涯中,曾梵志的
ZENG FANZHI 绘画是带着启示性的表现主义风格,并利用现实合成的效果用来强化他对现实虚伪的描述。基于经验的构
造,他那揭露现实的艺术作品表现一个了麻木和异常的世界。他作品主体——人的手异常的大和痉挛,比

起呆板的脸和大而呆滞的眼还要显著。这些绘画在简明的呈现中已胜过了叙事。在曾梵志的艺术中,再创
造即模拟当下体验的疲乏:对获利和消费的急躁,以及对生疏离间的范围在日益扩大的感觉。以他特别的
工作方式,曾梵志提醒了我们当艺术瓦解了固有经验以后,能带来多大的鲜活力量。因此当现实物质世界
爆发后余下的灰烬在他的描绘下就变成富有煽动性的视觉艺术。
曾梵志的“面具”系列广为人知,那也是他个人在艺术表达上的一个转折点。在这个系列里,所有肖像都
戴着一张白色面具出现,而且这面具和真正的面部特征如此接近,以致于作为一张面具却是几乎透明的
