A dialogue about Yue Min Jun’s art

 

In 1989, a number of artists had started creating works about this sense of loss, which inspired me in some way. I began to work on images of people that simultaneously aroused feelings of strength and self- mockery, which fit with my mood then and helped to relieve the unhappiness in my heart. Before I produced these people, I felt my art lacked power. 

 
Art should be an expression of one’s particular feelings and should be direct and deep. So I drew one person, and then added another and another until there were crowds of them.
Then I felt my emotions to be fully expressed.
