Yan Lei (b. 1965) Untitled, 2006 Acrylic on canvas 58-3/4 x 78-1/4 inches (149.2 x 198.8 cm) PROVENANCE: Private collection, New York. NOTE: Yan Lei studied at the Hebei School for Arts & Crafts and the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts (China Academy of Art). He and fellow artist Hong Hao gained a rebellious notoriety among their peers when in 1997 they sent fake invitations for the international Documenta exhibition to several Chinese artists. Since then much of his work has retained this provocative vigor, playfulness and cynicism. Yan Lei states: "there is a story behind my painting, a history and an attitude to contemporary art." Yan Lei' paintings are often taken from photographs that record his own experience. His reductive painting practice—the final product is a blurred painting that zooms in on the surface of the photographic image—tends to expose the artificiality of the photo and points to a paucity of truth under scrutiny. Through his video, painting and installations, Yan Lei's iconoclastic and unconventional style often references the work of other artists in a colorful re-interpretation of realism. Yan Lei has participated in many major international exhibitions and art events, including the HK Art Centre, Hong Kong; Aspen Art Museum, Colorado; UCCA, Beijing; Gwangju Biennale, Korea; 25th Sao Paulo Biennale, Brazil; Center Pompidou, Paris; and the 50th Biennale di Venezia, Italy.
