Yue Minjun 

Presenting a contemporary take on traditional Chinese beliefs and religion, Yue Minjun provides a characteristic self-portrait set against a backdrop of flying white cranes. The traditional portrayal of cranes signify good luck and hopes for prosperity and peace in Chinese culture.

In this unique piece, Yue conveys the notion that traditional Chinese values and perceptions of the world are fleeting in today’s modern culture.
