Project Room HK —
Ye Linghan: Animal Portraits

Ben Brown Fine Arts is proud to announce the return of young Chinese artist Ye Linghan to our Hong Kong Project Room following on from his highly successful solo exhibition Floating Spring last year.

The paintings and works on paper that comprise Ye's second solo exhibition Animal Portraits echo the age old literary practice of using animals as protagonists such as the much loved Tortoise and the Hare from Aesop's Fables, the legend of Rabbit in the Moon and the complex characters of George Orwell's Animal Farm.  The animal protagonists in these stories possess human qualities and failings, and attributes such as the ability to speak and to reason.
