Chen Haiyan

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, China Onward, Denmark, 2007, p. 45, illustrated

Chen Haiyan is widely recognized as one of the most important contemporary Chinese female artists. Her work explores the subconscious mind using a traditional Chinese woodcut print technique fused with a raw artistic style. As a member of the China Avant-garde movement, a group which critiqued the state ideology and pioneered art as an individualistic pursuit, she has exhibited in shows across the world including Marlborough Fine Art, The British Museum and the Shanghai Art Museum.
