Yang Feng (b. 1960)

Jianguo Road

2001

Woodblock print

61 x 58 cm

​

As in print no. 28 illustrating Lu Xun’s hometown, Jiang Feng has created a varied cast of characters. In this fantastically complex image of people and symbolic objects, the artist turns his attention to urban life in contemporary China. Vehicles, buildings and businesses are squeezed into this vision of Jianguo Road, a main throughfare in Beijing’s Central Business District. They surround a jam-packed crowd, where everyone appears to be concerned only with his own affairs.
