Schoeni Art Gallery presents a solo exhibition by Yu Chen, a female artist from China giving us an insight into how aspects of portraiture are now a major part of Chinese contemporary art.
Yu Chen uses young revolutionary images in a playful way as the subject in her paintings. In preparation for this exhibition, she researched the behaviour of babies and she appears to have a close rapport with her subjects. Her observations are accurate and her babies having ice cream are somehow amusing. Some are holding a wooden toy rifle on their shoulder while enjoying a sweet treat, others are caught in a moment of despair or pulling a face. One cannot walk way from her canvases without a smile.
Yu Chen enjoys a fast rise of popularity with her Red Babies using bright and pop hues in thin layers and sticking ornaments on the cap or the uniform lapels.
