Presentation
Yan Pei-Ming, born in 1960 in Shanghai, China, is a globally recognized contemporary artist known for his monumental portraits created with bold, gestural brushstrokes. Raised in a modest family during the final years of China's Cultural Revolution, he developed a passion for painting despite limited formal training. In 1980, he moved to France, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Dijon for five years before continuing his artistic education at the Institut des Hautes Études en Arts Plastiques (Iheap) in Paris. Today, he is based in Ivry-sur-Seine, near Paris, where he creates his signature large-scale works.
In recent years, Yan Pei-Ming's influence in the art world has continued to grow. His 2024 solo exhibitions in Paris and New York showcased new works addressing contemporary political and social themes, reinforcing his reputation as a painter of historical relevance. His large-scale portraits of cultural and political figures, often rendered in his signature sweeping brushstrokes, have gained critical acclaim. His work is now part of major museum collections worldwide, including the Centre Pompidou, the Uffizi Gallery, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. As demand for his paintings rises, Yan Pei-Ming remains a leading figure in contemporary portraiture, bridging past and present through his dynamic, emotionally charged compositions.
Yan Pei-Ming gained widespread recognition in the early 1990s with his striking monochrome portraits, particularly his 1993 series depicting Mao Zedong. His expressive, almost sculptural approach to painting has since defined his style, with recurring themes of power, mortality, war, and politics. Often working in black, white, and deep red tones, he reinvents classical history painting for the modern era, drawing comparisons to masters like Jacques-Louis David and Francisco Goya. His time at the Villa Medici in 1993 led to the creation of Les 108 Brigands, a series inspired by Chinese folklore. Over the decades, Yan Pei-Ming has exhibited at prestigious institutions, including the Venice Biennale, the Louvre Museum, the Musée d'Orsay, and the Fondation Louis Vuitton. His work is frequently featured at major art fairs, and he has held solo exhibitions at the renowned Thaddaeus Ropac gallery.
