Chinese, b. 1966; lives and works in Beijing, China
Huang Yan studied at Changchun Normal University and started his career as a poet. In 1999 he began to make artworks that involve painting Chinese landscapes onto unexpected surfaces, such as the human body, furniture, and musical instruments. Often these works are carried out in collaboration with his wife, the painter Zhang Tiemei. The artist currently manages the Must Be Contemporary Art gallery in Beijing’s 789 Art Zone.
