Painted Faces by Ren Zhengyu


Mother Teresa 
"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." -- Mother Teresa

"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." -- Mother Teresa

Lee Kuan Yew
"The ultimate test of the value of a political system is whether it helps that society to establish conditions which improve the standard of living for the majority of its people." -- Lee Kuan Yew

"I always tried to be correct, not politically correct." -- Lee Kuan Yew


Albert Einstein
"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." -- Albert Einstein

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious." -- Albert Einstein



About the Artist:
Born in Tianjin in 1976, Ren Zhengyu graduated in 1999 from the Oil Painting Department at Tianjin Academy of Fine Art, where he currently works as a lecturer. His talent was recognised and appreciated by renowned galleries and distinguished collectors throughout China, and he achieved fame in Europe through his distinct portrait series of historical and political icons such as Andy Warhol and Chairman Mao.

In his works, Ren plays with a wide spectrum of colours that are juxtaposed to create a unique expressionist interpretation of famous faces and experiments with texture and layering built on to reinforce the portrayal of faces from different perspectives.
