PSA Collection Series: Yu Youhan
Yu Youhan retrospective exhibition (part of PSA Collection Series) will be held at Power Station of Art in Shanghai. This exhibition will be the largest and most comprehensive retrospective to date for Mr. Yu Youhan, an important figure in the history of Chinese avant-garde art. Over two hundred works of paintings, sketches, and archival material will be presented, including his early abstract works, the 鈥淐ircle鈥漵eries, the 鈥淎h! Us鈥� series, the 鈥淵imeng Mountain鈥� series, along with approximately twenty newer works from recent years.
The particular background of the times he lived in meant that his artistic path had been rather circuitous and uneven; for the same reason, however, he broke free of the shackles of Soviet academicism. The artist has said that since moving from his 鈥渃omposition鈥� phase, he had studied works by C茅zanne, Mir贸, and the American Color Field artists; thereafter, principles of 鈥渃omposition鈥� aesthetics permeated his later works of divergent styles. We shall see Yu Youhan in this exhibition as an artist who spans different styles, an artist who dares try the innovation, an artist who loves his country and people.
