毛焰
毛焰（1968-，中国南京）是中国当代非常重要的观念性肖像绘画艺术家。他的肖像画细致传神地塑造了人物精神，达到了形、神相融的境界。他大量创作以一个白人青年为模特的肖像画，摆脱了典型“中国艺术家”的标签而彰显出其创作的中立性和独特性。
Mao Yan (born 1968, Nanjing/China) is a very important contemporary Chinese artist of conceptual portraits. His works convey the figure’s spiritual world vividly with subtle technique and achieve unity of the form and the soul successfully. Mao created plenty of portraits of the same young white western model. It is a breakup with the stereotype of a typical Chinese artist and a manifestation of his neutral stand and uniqueness.
