Yan Pei-Ming's work is not only an aesthetic experience, but also a space for reflection: How does memory work? How do images create power structures? How do our origins, history and media images determine who we are?
The combination of expressive painting and symbolic motifs lends his images a sense of tension: although we recognise who or what he is depicting at first glance, numerous details remain diffuse, blurred and fragmentary – challenging our gaze and making the work difficult to consume.
