Arario New York recently opened its latest exhibition for internationally renowned contemporary Chinese artist Yue Minjun, entitled Smile-isms. “Smile-isms” featured a new set of 28 original prints, shown for the first time. These prints beautifully illustrate the iconic laughing face and figure of the artist as seen manifested in various states of solitary play and fantastical camaraderie. Yue Minjun’s joyful, smiling figures offer an ironic commentary on the concept of personal freedom and happiness in modern Chinese society. The set of prints were also accompanied by a series of sculptures. For those interested, the show will remain open through January 16th, 2010.
