Catalogue Note
"Using laughter as a denotation of violence and vulnerability, Yue's paintings balance a zeitgeist of modern day anxiety with an Eastern philosophical ethos, positing the response to the true nature of reality as an endless cynical guffaw." (Sandeep Tyagi, About Yue Minjun - A Chinese Artist, Amazines, 2007)
