About the artwork
Ally-detached, the woman in the image carries an expression of being far away and lost in thought. Her expression, so clearly wrought despite the untamed brushstrokes, intrigues the viewer, inciting them to peer deeper and explore the abstract possibilities. The washed out colors add to the feel of detachment that both displaces and resonates within the viewer.
About the artist
Born in Xi'an, Shanxi Province and graduating from Xi'an Fine Art Academy. Min Yiyao's figurative works have been featured in major exhibitions in China, with solo and group exhibitions spanning Beijing, Xiamen, Shanghai, Nanjing, Taipei, Belgium, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Singapore. In Min's works, the language of his technique draws the viewer in rather that the image itself. He alludes to fauvist influences and a tinge of surrealism. The artist fascinates the viewer with a reversal of the norms expected of a portraiture piece.
