The artwork titled “Автопортрет” by the artist Zeng Fanzhi is part of the “Portraits” series.
The artwork depicts a group of young individuals standing closely together, each characterized by exaggerated facial features and expressive, wide-eyed faces. The vibrant use of colors, particularly the bold yellow background, contrasts with the intricate and stylized rendering of the figures in the foreground. Each person exhibits a dramatic, almost caricature-like appearance, which is a distinctive element of Zeng Fanzhi’s artistic style. The clothing and demeanor of the figures suggest a sense of unity and camaraderie, while the overall composition invites viewers to contemplate deeper themes within the portrait.
