Catalogue Note

"Art is about man. It speaks to people. Portrait is like a mirror, it reflects to us who we are, what we are. My work always orients towards human beings, it's the center, the fundamental element of my work. If you ask me to do abstract painting, I can't handle it. I am interested in human beings." - Yan Pei-Ming
