Yan Pei-Ming The Way of the Dragon

Yan Pei-Ming, born in 1960 in Shanghai, shows us a directness in painting whose honesty is startling even in these times. His pictures oscillate between the poles of life and death and express an existential worldview that manifests a variety of cultures and life situations. The portraits, bodies, and figures are pictures of people, from which politicians or famous personalities, for example the Pope, Bruce Lee, or Mao, seem to emerge like a second reality. Yan Pei-Ming's motifs transcend the framework of traditional painting through their oversized format, the impasto and usually many-layered application of paint with the palette knife, and the reduction of their coloration to complex gray or red tones. The Way of the Dragon is the first German-English publication on the work of Yan Pei-Ming. Numerous coloured plates present the major work groups: portraits, landscapes, still lifes, pictures of the Pope, erotic depictions, and what Yan calls "Death Pictures".
