Yue Minjun’s Contemporary Terracotta Warriors

Part of the ‘China – Contemporary Revival’ exhibition currently at the Palazzo Reale in Milan is Yue Minjun’s Contemporary Terracotta Warriors. Most known for his oil paintings depicting himself in various settings, frozen in wide-toothed laughter. These simplified, ironic human figures with their disproportional large faces, open mouths and closed eyes have become his signature throughout his work. The Chinese artist has also worked with Kaws in the past on a rendition of the Companion figure. The exhibit runs until February 7th, 2010.
