“We n:2,” created by Zeng Fanzhi in 2002 as part of his “Portraits” series in China, is an artwork that measures 250 by 250 centimeters.
The artwork is a large-scale painting featuring an intricate and detailed portrayal of a human face. The piece is characterized by its unique technique of layering and blending swirls of paint, creating a textured and almost abstract representation of the subject. The use of repeated oval-shaped brushstrokes gives the image a sense of depth and movement, with a palette dominated by various shades of pink, brown, and black. This technique results in a captivating composition that draws the viewer’s attention, encouraging a deeper contemplation of both the individual’s visage and the artist’s expressive style.
