Tan Yongqing
Tan Yongqing’s paintings always maintain an exploration of the universality and layering of life. The figures in his practice are often presented in a blurred and distorted manner, with a hint of gloom, emptiness, and detachment. While at the core is the artist’s concern for life consciousness and social issues. During the creation process, Tan often spends a lot of time to repeatedly refine and modifying some details of his works until he finds a subtle feeling close to idealization. In an era when more and more people are pursuing innovations, Tan Yongqing has instead chosen to restrain and converge, a reverse firmness that is rare among post-1990 artists.
