ARTIST BIO

(b. 1964, CHINA)

 

Ma Ye was born in Suide, Shaanxi Province. From a young age he showed promise as a talented artist and was already highly skilled before entering the Xi'an Fine Arts Academy. After graduation he worked as an art teacher in a secondary school in his hometown, but resigned after four years of teaching. Ma Ye was disappointed for the school never paid much attention on art education and he was unable to fully pass on his skills to his students.

Ma Ye creates vivid fashionable figures –undressing against a background of Chinese historical landmarks– in attempt to draw attention to the changing values and moral standing of modern China with the simultaneous disappearance of its traditional civilization.
