PAN YING (b.1962) YUNNAN LADY/ THE THINKER. Ink and colour on paper. Seal of the artist. 66 cm x 43.5 cm The artist portrays a demurely elegant lady dressed in traditional Yunnan costume leaning on the fence, with her chin resting on a clenched fist, gazing down and inward, thinking deeply, as if reflecting on her life experience, triggering the viewer's imagination and curiosity. An ethnic Manchu, Pan Ying graduated from the Art Institute of the People's Liberation Army in 1983, specializing in traditional Chinese painting. She is now on the staff of the Fine Arts Department of the Central University for Nationalities in Beijing. In her most mature works Pan paints with the traditional gongbi technique strips and ribbons of white material arranged in endless monochrome combinations that spiral and intersect on the surface of the painting. Using a traditionally high artistic idiom, therefore, Pan Ying provides a description of practices generally classified as belonging to 'handicrafts' and thus regarded as 'low'. Still the representation of what for centuries was classified as menial is replayed with elegant minimalist effects, reminiscent of drawing and etching, that bestow the coiling movement of the thread with an abstract formal beauty. Pan Ying has participated in many exhibitions both nationally and internationally, including: 'Century-Woman' in Beijing (1998); 'Die Hälfte des Himmels' (Half of the Sky) at the Frauenmuseum in Bonn (1998); and 'On This Side of the Sky: UNESCO Salutes Women' in Art in Paris (2003). Provenance: Directly from the artist herself in the 1990s. Provenance: Directly from the artist himself in the 1990's
