Yuan Yuan was born in Zhejiang Province in China, and graduated from the Department of Oil Painting, China Academy of Arts. Yuan’s creative theme mainly explores architectural space and traces of men’s past activities. His works display heavy, thick, dense, and secluded colors, injecting a unique sense of nostalgia to historic architectures’ glamorous yet arid ambience. Yuan’s paintings have been chosen to Beijing DSL Collection’s Contemporary Chinese Collection, and Pomeranz Collection in Vienna, Austria. Past exhibitions include: The Blind Man and The Elephant – Yuan Yuan Solo Exhibition (Xiaoping Gallery in Shanghai, 2008), Polar Night – Yuan Yuan Solo Exhibition (Xiaoping Gallery in Shanghai, 2009), Steam Rooms – Yuan Yuan Solo Exhibition (JGM Gallery in Paris, 2011), Yuan Yuan (Edouard Malingue Gallery in Hong Kong, 2012), Yuan Yuan: Imagined Memory – A Home from Home (ShanghART H-Space in Shanghai, 2012), and Yuan Yuan (Art Basel Hong Kong, 2014). In today’s world where tradition meets modernity, and urban landscapes rapidly changing, Yuan Yuan’s works trigger resonances of historic memory between architectures and the spaces of human activities, winning praises at exhibitions held in major cities around the world.
