  Ren Zhenyu
  Born in Tianjin in 1976, Ren Zhenyu graduated in 1999 from the Tianjin Academy of Fine Art, where he currently works as a lecturer. His great talent has always been recognised and appreciated by renowned galleries and distinguished collectors throughout China, and increasingly all around the world. He has recently achieved fame in Europe through his distinct portrait series of historical and political icons. In his works, Ren plays with a wide spectrum of colours that are juxtaposed to create a unique expressionist interpretation of famous faces and experiments with texture built on layering to reinforce the portrayal of faces from different perspectives. He adopts a manner closer to Pop Art than to the currently dominant Chinese Neo-Realist style.

• Über Künstler

  Ren Zhenyu wurde 1976 in Tianjin geboren. Er schloss sein Studium 1999 an der Abteilung für Ölmalerei der Tianjin Academy of Fine Art ab, wo er derzeit als Dozent tätig ist. Seit Beginn seiner Karriere wird sein großes Talent von Galerien und Sammlern in ganz China anerkannt und geschätzt. In jüngerer Zeit ist er auch in Europa bekannt geworden, insbesondere durch seine Porträtserie zweier historischer Ikonen: Andy Warhol und Chairman Mao.

  In seiner Arbeit spielt Ren auf die tiefgreifenden politischen Veränderungen an, die in China seit Maos Tod (dem gleichen Jahr, in dem der Künstler geboren wurde) stattgefunden haben, und auf das ständige Bedürfnis chinesischer Künstler, sich mit der Vergangenheit zu verbinden.
