香格纳画廊将于7月26日至8月20日为您带来余友涵作品展《余友涵的绘画》。本次个展中，将重点展出余友涵在近几年创作的抽象画作品。

余友涵1943年出生于上海，1973年毕业于中央工艺美术学院，是九十年代前卫艺术运动里政治波普艺术最具代表性的艺术家之一，他融合了中国的视觉符号和西方艺术的表达方式。其作品曾经对当时的文化情形带来了较大冲击，并影响和感染了一代年轻艺术家。

2000年之后，他回归自然，把他的方向转为探索新的绘画语言和主体事件。通过对各种视觉手法的持续探索，余友涵的作品总是结合了多重透视和对中国文化本体结构的研究。他的绘画保持着普遍意义，但同样极富吸引力。

ShanghART gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Yu Youhan: Youhan’s paintings from Jul.27 to Aug 20. The exhibition is mainly to show the abstract paintings that Yu Youhan created in recent years.

Yu Youhan was born in Shanghai in 1943. He graduated from the Central Academy of Art and Design, Beijing in 1973. Yu Youhan is one of the main artists of Political Pop to emerge in the avant-garde movement in the 1990’s, fusing Chinese iconography and Western artistic expression. His work has had a major impact on the cultural scene, and has influenced and inspired a generation of younger artists.

After 2000, he’s back to nature and shifted his artistic approach in search of a new paint language and subject matter. Yu Youhan’s extensive oeuvre combines multiple perspectives and investigates the structure of cultural identity in China through an ongoing exploration of various pictorial techniques. His paintings remain ubiquitous, yet intriguing.
