In the series of paintings featured in this catalogue, Yang Mian questions the 'standard' of beauty, a 'standard' which he thinks has been inspired and influenced by the numerous advertisements promoting commercial and fashionable products found in the streets of contemporary China, such as famous actresses holding the new model of digital camera or mobile phone. The accompanying essay provides further elaboration on the concept of Yang Mian. Artist's biography is included.
