The first place that the 21-year-old Chinese painter Yan Pei-Ming (born 1960) visited on a 1980 trip to France was Ornans, the birthplace of the French realist Gustave Courbet. Thirty-nine years later, Pei-Ming takes the 200th anniversary of the birth of his hero as an opportunity to demonstrate his immense admiration for Courbet and his masterpiece, Burial in Ornans.
Yan Pei-Ming transforms and translates this scene into a contemporary Burial in Shanghai, the city where he grew up, and where his mother is buried. This unique artist’s book represents this undertaking in 290 divisible fragments. Pei-Ming intends that one can disassemble the book, assemble its fragments and form the painting in its original size, which is more than 20 feet wide and 10 feet high.

Franco-Chinese painter Yan Pei-Ming (born 1960) audaciously brings together paintings of popes, female nudes and erotic scenes. These juxtapositions refer to a "date" between power, women and painting. By bringing together these subjects, Pei-Ming reflects how image hierarchies have been abolished in our current age.

In this exhibition catalogue, Chinese painter Yan Pei-Ming investigates the nebulous concepts of human virtue and memory--especially in relation to age, power and society. Life Souvenir presents images of infants and soldiers, continuing Yan's careerlong interest in history, incorruptibility and, above all else, human emotion.
