Three works: (i) Goldhead No. 6; (ii) Goldhead No. 3; (iii) Goldhead No. 11
2005
These three paintings from Fang Lijun's Goldhead series exemplify the Chinese contemporary artist's characteristic approach of depicting bald, androgynous figures with exaggerated features and haunting expressions. The works showcase Fang's exploration of identity and psychological states through repetition and variation, employing a cool palette and meticulous technique to create an unsettling yet compelling visual language. The series reflects broader themes in 1990s Chinese art that questioned notions of individuality and conformity in the post reform era.
