The catalogue for an exhibition of works by Yue Minjun and Yang Shaobin, who are considered by Li Xianting as “undoubtedly among the most promising and individualistic of the New Wave artists”. Beyond the seemingly humorous appearance, their works brings to the fore serious issues on commercialization and the need to re-evaluate old beliefs and accepted social rules, which has led them to being labeled as Cynical Realists. Biographies of artists are included in this catalogue.
本圖錄收錄了岳敏君和楊少斌的聯展作品,栗憲庭認為,這兩名畫家「是此潮流中頗具實力,且有獨特追求的藝術家」。在幽默的表象之下,他們的作品揭示了商業化所造成的嚴重後果,亦強調了重新衡量舊思想和社會習俗的必要性,因此他們常被人冠以「現世寫實藝術家」的稱號。本圖錄亦載有兩位藝術家的簡歷。
