YAN Pei Ming
Chinese 1960
Yan Pei Ming was born in Shanghai in 1960 and moved to France in 1982. He attended the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Dijon and the Institut des Hautes Études en Arts Plastiques in Paris. Yan Pei Ming is renowned for his epic-sized, monochromatic portraits of Mao. His subjects also include historical figures, political leaders, celebrities, as well as anonymous figures and the artist himself. Yan’s signature broad and rapid brushstrokes often add a touch of abstraction to his portraits. Yan Pei Ming has staged numerous group and solo exhibitions around the world, his works are also in the collection of a number of major museums. The artist lives and works in Dijon.
