Chinese landscape series: Winter (2 works, 150 x 120 cm each) // Face Tattoo by Huang Yan, part of the Chinese Landscape Series: Winter, is a 2005 photographic diptych that merges traditional Chinese landscape painting with contemporary portraiture. Each photograph, measuring 150 x 120 cm, features a man’s face adorned with a meticulously painted winter landscape, transforming the face into a canvas. The landscapes, depicting serene natural scenes with trees and mountains, are evocative of classical Chinese scroll art. By overlaying these traditional motifs onto human skin, Yan explores themes of cultural identity, temporality, and the relationship between nature and humanity. The limited edition work reflects a harmonious yet provocative blend of past and present, art and self.

What is activist art?
Activist Art is a form of art created to address social and political issues. It often involves public engagement and works closely with communities to raise awareness or inspire change. While it can include elements of performance art, it is not limited to this form. Examples include creating and distributing social protest posters or organizing community-based art projects that highlight specific causes.
