Exhibition of Works by Brothers Chen Yifei and Chen Yiming
Twenty-seven years have passed since the brothers, the most influential pair of painter brothers in modern Chinese history, first joined hands to display works at an exhibition in the Hammer Gallery in New York in 1990.
Chen Yifei (1946-2005), the elder, was hailed as an extraordinary oil painter and visual artist. His best-known works, Water Region Series and The Tibet Series, as well as others, established a unique place in the history of modern Chinese art. He was most acclaimed for his special integration of fields including visual research, fashion design and movies.
Younger brother Chen Yiming is an accomplished painter and expert at fusing traditional Eastern expressive force with classical Western techniques. May 15 – June 16 Bund 111 Art Center, Shanghai
