Yue Minjun: Smile at the Flower Sermon at Tang Contemporary


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

The gallery is honored to present Smile at the Flower Sermon, a solo exhibition featuring works by the contemporary Chinese artist at the Hong Kong gallery space. The exhibition presents the artist’s iconic Laughter series and features the new Flower series with about 20 splendid works. This exhibition represents a remarkable return of Yue Minjun after a 10-year hiatus and is also his first collaboration with Tang Contemporary Art.

Yue Minjun is one of the most renowned contemporary Chinese artists. He came into prominence in Chinese contemporary art with a series of paintings, which features an exaggerated and iconic smiley face presenting a “self-image.” This series made him a legend of his generation and earned him international acclaim. Hopes rose and fell after the winds of freedom began to blow in a specific historical time in China, and Yue Minjun’s works have reflected the experiences of people living amidst the unprecedented changes in Chinese society since the 1990s.
