Skarstedt

Yuan Fang poses in her studio, standing between two large abstract paintings. She wears wide-leg black trousers and a dark leather top, with one foot on a white stool, surrounded by paint-splattered walls and floor.

Yuan Fang’s Visceral Paintings at Skarstedt Confront the Body’s Fragility and Its Strength

"For me, painting is almost like an accident—you discover what it should be as you work on it. The process is about finding the piece along the way. I like to leave space for the unknown to take over."
By Elisa Carollo
The image appears to feature a surreal, haunting scene with figures wearing masks and standing in a snowy, desolate landscape. Some figures are mounted on horses, while others are grouped together, gazing into the distance. There are two dogs in the foreground, and a large hole in the ground that holds an intricately depicted heart symbol, which adds a layer of emotional depth to the scene. The figures' faces are mostly obscured by brightly colored masks, creating a sense of anonymity and eerie detachment. The overall mood is somber, evoking themes of mystery, vulnerability, and loss.
