Contemporary Art: Chen Fei @ Perrotin New York

 

 (Drivebycuriosity) - Trade war or not. You can still see stunning Chinese art in New York. Gallery Perrotin on Manhattan`s lower East Side has an exhibition with paintings by the Chinese Artist Chen Fei, a prominent figure in China`s post 1980 generation (perrotin). The gallery displays the paintings on 2 floors, an exhibition any ambitious museum of contemporary art would be proud of.


 

The ground floor depicts Fei`s figurative paintings. On top of this post you can see his "Painter and Family". According to the press release this painting is inspired by Velázquez’s Las Meninas (1656)



 

I like Fei`s surrealist humor and the funny disparity between the model here and her admirers.

Delicious & Juicy


 

On the second floor you could see Fei`s still-lifes. The fruit above look delicious & juicy.

 

Something more for vegetarians

 

Yes, the Chinese love pork


 

A glance on mouthwatering dim sum.
