Art beat ... finger on the pulse

Beijing

Debut art solo show

Important contemporary Chinese artist Yu Youhan is widely acclaimed for his political pop art. He also creates Impressionist paintings, and has been committed to abstract styles and landscapes in recent years. Several works from various periods in his art career are on display at his first solo show in Beijing, at YUAN Space. Yu's work shows the influence of Chagall, Cezanne and van Gogh. He blends the elements of Impressionism with conventional ink-and-water techniques, which has bestowed his works with great stretching forces.
