Yue Min-Jun is an advocate for freedom, he lived in a time of termination and turning points where he has went through the end of the Cultural Revolution where world economy gradually globalized and witnessed the modernization of China. These drastic social movements enabled him to become sensitive towards social reform. With his unique art language and rich context in painting; his dazzling art style that is rebellious and self- liberation. Yue Min-Jun said “I think everything comes natural, nothing is presented with intention. I come from a technique perspecitve, but eventually the inner part has to be revealed naturally.” 

“Re-Portrait Series 2012-3” is Yue Min-Jun’s recent work, he represented the control artists have for human figures with Cubism He deformed the painting into a broken and isolated atmosphere allowing the viewers to search for complete human traits to challenge their visual. Yue employed portraits from the daily newspapers and magazines and crumbled them to create numerous folds and then casually drew across them to allow ink to sink into the corners of the folds to create a incomplete 3D mask look. The facial features and deformed body created a funny look; the artist eventually began to create with this image. Yue Min-Jun consider the informational images downloaded from different sites are unreal; therefore, he presented a visual experience and impact between colors, lines and blocks with a Cubism form. With this as the foundation, he flattened the angles to create a lineal presentation – the “Skin” series.
