Huang Yan

(Chinese, born 1966)

Huang Yan is a contemporary Chinese artist whose work combines painting, photography, and sculpture. In his series Chinese Shan-shui tattoo, Huang evokes traditional Chinese landscape painting with a contemporary twist by photographing faces, backs, and entire bodies tattooed with landscape motifs. “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,” he has said. Born in Jilin, China in 1966, he graduated from the Changchun Normal Academy in 1987. After moving to Beijing, Huang began producing work critical to the Communist regime and Mao Zedong’s legacy. In the decades that followed, the artist gained the attention of Ai Weiwei and exhibited around the world. He continues to live and work in Beijing, China.
