  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.

• Sur l'artiste

  Ren Zhenyu est né à Tianjin en 1976. Il est diplômé en 1999 du département de peinture à l'huile de l'Académie des beaux-arts de Tianjin où il travaille actuellement comme conférencier. Depuis le début de sa carrière, son grand talent est reconnu et apprécié par les galeries et les collectionneurs de toute la Chine. Plus récemment, il s'est également fait connaître en Europe, notamment grâce à sa série de portraits de deux icônes historiques : Andy Warhol et le président Mao.

  Dans son travail, Ren fait allusion aux profonds changements politiques qui ont eu lieu en Chine depuis la mort de Mao (la même année où l'artiste est né) et au besoin constant des artistes chinois de se connecter au passé.
