Chen Yu (, born 1969) is a Chinese contemporary artist.
Biography
Chen was born in Anshun, Guizhou Province, China. In 1993, Chen graduated from Engraving Department of Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing, China. After graduation, he started his career as a printmaker.
Art style
Chen was inspired by Andy Warhol to study screen-printing. With the technique of screen-printing, Chen is able to create rows of cloned characters with similar facial expression. However, when looking at these clones closely, one would often find a "mistake" or peculiarity in one of them; a peculiar facial expression or gesture breaks the monotony. The characters in the painting usually depict a sense of loneliness and a sense of disjointedness.
