Yan Jingzhou’s works in this exhibition present an overall tension structure interwoven with absurdist drama and modern literature. Between image and narrative, they touch upon subtle layers of human relationships to some extent, calling for ideals of equality and freedom, and delicately exploring the depths of emotion. Some pieces reveal themes of love and identity, others observe geopolitical relations, pay homage to the classics, or reinterpret the cultural genes of his hometown. His paintings resemble mirrors illuminated by many beams of reflected light, in which countless faces—those masked by social norms—shed their disguises one by one, silently telling their own monologues.
