Серия "Маски" №26 1995

"Серия "Маски" №26" (1995) by Zeng Fanzhi (1964-present) depicts two figures seated side-by-side against a muted yellow background. The figures wear identical clothing and have their mouths open in a silent scream, their eyes obscured by a white mask. The contrasting colors and bold lines create a powerful visual statement, emphasizing the figures' emotional distress and the feeling of alienation. The work is a signature example of Fanzhi's signature style, characterized by the use of bold colors and thick brushstrokes, and his exploration of social and political themes in contemporary China.
